My wife has been in the Credit Union world for about 13 years now. She left her last job in basically a scandal. While there was no direct proof, the president of the credit union was sleeping around with one of the admin personnel. There was favoritism all over the place including rewarding a never awarded $1000 employee of the year award. Funny part of this, there was no formal selection and the vice-president didn't even have a say in it.
so my wife left one day. No 2 week notice, nothing. She decided to write a letter to the board and gave 6 examples of favoritism. Nothing ever came of this and as far as my wife was concerned she didn't really care because she wanted out of there.
That was 5 months ago. She got a temporary job for a bit and finally looks like she may get a managment job in another credit union. Well the potential employer called for references. We don't know who they talked to, but basically they told them that she never had a position that she did have. They verified employment, but lied about a position she had at one time while she was there.
My wife actually held about 4 different positions at that credit union at different times. She was there for over 5 years.
For now she had told them to talk to the vice president who was her direct supervisor at the time when she had the loan officer position.
So i guess my question comes down to this. If for some reason she fails to get the job due to this lie, what legal right do we stand on?
