Can one claim anything after 7 years?

I have been advised that the business which I have been employed at, for ten years, has been sold. I was advised that I must sign an employment agreement that has a probation period. Am I entitled to severance pay, because of this new job classification?

I was fired yesterday though a text message because I covered a shift at work and the girl backed out and I said I couldn't make it in because I worked my other job. The same thing happened the previous week except the opposite. I said I could switch a shift then realized I couldn't but they still told me I had to come in or else I would be fired. I figured it out and came in. Wondering what my rights were in this situation. I have been employed there 2 years.

I was recently let go yesterday. I worked there a year as an apprentice. I was driving the fork lift - which I did daily. No formal training or certification. I was stopping, where I was stopping there was ice and the fork lift didn't stop and slid into a door. I was given 2 weeks pay and my vacation pay out. They have extended it to say my last pay period is the week of March 5th ending.

Am shocked for what they did to me today. To dismiss with these weak point. I have been with the company over 20 years service.
