Today I was fired by an employer because I was late for shifts I didn't know I had. Sometimes it was because they changed the schedule at the last second and sometimes it was because I misread the schedule. They also say my conflict resolution was poor but any time I receive a complaint they are supposed to discuss it with you. I believe I've only ha two complaints regarding conflict out of the 34 individuals I've supported in the 14 months I've worked there. In their own policies it is also outlined how disciplinary action will occur and they didn't follow that protocol. I feel as if I have been bullied because I see many other individuals who repeatedly make the same mistakes as myself still working, as well I have walked in on individuals gossiping about me, my work and my personal life. One of the consumers that made a complaint is the daughter of the building I work in. I am wondering if I should proceed with a law suit.

I have 14 years of work in my automotive assembly plant and am 60 years old. And if I get terminated for union talk to other employees will I still receive my company pension?

I've just finished my four month probation period today. I have heard from a friend that my boss is interviewing for my bookkeeper position. I have never been given any indication that he was not happy with my work and our rapport is very friendly and respectful. Do I have any rights in this situation as I'm quite sure I'll be dismissed next week? I'm a lone parent with a young child so this is extra stressful financially. Thanks Liann

I've been a contingent worker and my contract was to end in August of 2017, I've been told my contract is ending on February 3rd, because of the lack of volume of work; however, a newer contingent worker on my team who's contract was to be ending December 2016 has been given an extension to August 2017. Also, she is training another contract worker on the work we do to join our team. So obviously there is work. Do I have a claim for wrongful dismissal? Also, when I ask for a copy of my contract with the company, the agency I am contracted out of says there isn't one. No documents the can share.
