I was just let go from Mohawk slots casino ( O.L.G) don't have ROE yet but letter says without cause - when I asked they told me it was for too many p.v.ns which are survelance write ups-- I worked on the count team and we are under audio and video survelance for the whole shift - they track the p.v.ns and I knew I had a lot but didn't think was fair to get termed- some of the pvns were for stuff that was beyond our control - example is the last one where one of the slot machines doors kept coming open even after we lock and check it - in the letter it looks so severe saying putting casino assets at risk etc .Do you know if I can appeal this???
