I hope you continue to live a long life cancer free and otherwise healthy and prosperous! You should step back and endeavor to evaluate your performance objectively. Based on what you wrote, it appears you work declined in terms of overall production. Is it possible the quality of your work...

While it apparently was less than sympathetic to your situation, your employer apparently did not violate any statute in transferring you and then letting you go. However, it appears that your union really let you down. Why would a union representative ask you, a discharged employee, to...

Since your prior employer was not “covered” under the statute, I doubt your current employer could be a successor for FMLA purposes. However, you should go to the U.S. Department of Labor web site to undertake a little FMLA research. I suspect the agency web site can provide an answer to...

You essentially “organized” a wildcat strike to highlight your dissatisfaction with the COO and other work conditions. Unfortunately for you and other strikers, management responded by terminating your employment. You do not appear to have a potential cause of action for wrongful discharge...

Interesting article/post. I hope this report signals a trend in which journalists nationwide report abusive employers – small, medium and large. Such reporting would better educate the public of the extreme misconduct which occurs in a significant number of employers, particularly in a...

I appreciate why kjenny is dismayed, if not shocked, that your employer treated in you in a reportedly shabby fashion and that you do not apparently have any legal recourse. The above responders are not expressing these inarguable facts to be mean or curt. They are simply and accurately...

Your husband may want to speak with a local employment law attorney to explore whether he can potentially advance an oral representations claim and/or a promissory estoppel claim. Some states allow both employment at-will exceptions as causes of actions. Some allow only one. Others allow...

I respectfully and slightly disagree with Prosperina. The ruling from the NLRB Administrative Law Judge in the Hispanic United case -- the decision described in the article she referenced in her thread post -- did conclude that employees’ Facebook postings concerning workplace conditions...

Unfortunately, based on what you posted, you do not have many good options. I presume you are not a unionized employee or otherwise have employment contract protection. As an at-will employee, your employer can suspend even if the underlying rationale is bogus or nonsensical. Indeed, your...

I do not perceive how you can accomplish an end run around Paragraph 3. Unless you wait 90 days to start working with an alternate Vendor or the Client, the contract prohibits you from working for the Client except through Vendor XYZ. You can approach Vendor XYZ and ask to be excused from this...

I think your post has been filed in the wrong place. This is an employment discrimination site, not discrimination in public accommodation site. FWIW, while I think you could possibly have a denial of public accommodations claim, you and your family could face an uphill battle. The Boys...

Your husband should consult directly with a lawyer familiar with Wisconsin state law prohibiting employment discrimination based on criminal history and/or with the Wisconsin Equal Rights Division. Counsel with the requisite experience can make an informed assessment of whether he has cause of...

Based on reading your post, it is unclear what "personal and confidential" information your supervisor divulged. As a practical matter, there is a great deal of information (e.g., your salary) your supervisor and/or your employer can disseminate about you which is not generally considered...

If a company commences a lawsuit against a former employee seeking tuition assistance reimbursement, it would presumably have to craft its lawsuit as a breach of contract. For the original poster, he should consult with an Illinois lawyer to determine whether the applicable limitations period...

Contact the lawyer who represented you in connection with the expunged misdemeanor or another attorney who can advise you on the effect of the expunged conviction. In certain jurisdictions, an individual with an expunged record can "truthfully" not disclose the conviction because it has been...

Put the money aside (preferably in an interest bearing account). If management (or "new" management) decides to take steps to collect through the courts, then it would have to proceed within the state limitations period for a breach of contract claim. You will want to consult with a Texas...
