I was fired for asking a question. (This all happened in the state of New Jersey) The boss got tired of telling the same thing to all of us over and over. There's a "favorite" employee who gets all the business and the rest of us get very little. I asked the boss POLITELY if another employee and myself were going to be given a chance to catch up, and she fired me on the spot. Another employee witnessed this and said she would tell what she saw to unemployment if i had any problems. I was contacted by the unemployment office and told that the boss is now claiming that i quit. I have now contacted the witness , and at first she agreed to follow through and tell the truth, but now she is afraid. The boss got wind of her testifying on my behalf and is threatening her job there now. What, if anything , can i do? Can i record a conversation with the other employee, thus saving her job by her not directly testifying? Is it illegal for me to record the conversation?
