About a year ago, I worked for a company from 5/2015 to 11/2015 when I and my work partner were laid off. Our job was making cotton candy, when I was hired there was nothing said about temp work the kijji ad said nothing as well. We were called back in March 2016, I worked till July 25 2017, when they terminated me for unknown reason according to EI. They said my papers only said dismissed. When they terminated me they offered me $1200 plus my regular pay and my owed vacation pay. I was financially stressed so I did sign the document. Can I do anything at this time, or no cause I signed the document. Thanks for your time.
