This is actually a question about slander, but it cost me my job. I worked for a county EMS service that use a board of volunteers to handle the business part of the operation. One of the volunteers went to the Medical Director and told him I was having an affair with a married volunteer and that I was a bad Medic and I broke a policy. She also went around to local business and told the shop owners not to let me patronize their business because I would cause them trouble.
I have been in EMS 14 years and never had any disciplinary action or been fired, this company dose not have a policy manual or employee handbook and I have never had an affair with anybody. The Medical Director looked into these complaints, found them all to be fraudulent, and instructed the volunteer to reinstate me, she ignored him, he wrote a letter, and she ignored that. The Medical Director has since resigned, I am on unemployment and the volunteer is still with the county EMS.
This is from Texas, right to work , I know I don't have a wrongful term, but it was the lies she told that got me taken off the schedule.
