Yesterday i was given a letter of termination for cause which they didn't say what should I do .

I have worked for a transport company for four years. I travel to pick up parts for the mechanics. I also clean their shop and I also help in their payroll department. Today my boss approached me and told me that he was abolishing my job. I asked him if it was something that I had done and he insisted that it was not. Then he informed me that a co-worker would be doing the parts portion of my job and he would hire another woman to do the cleaning part. Two weeks prior to this, I asked him if my job was secure and he told me absolutely and that I had nothing to worry about. Is this a wrongful dismissal? Thank you

I have been dismissed from my job without cause after 12 years of service. We just had a Union certification 6 weeks earlier but have no collective agreement yet. My question is do I have to go through the Union and have them represent me or can I just take my employer to court?

I was dismissed with cause for receiving inappropriate emails from a fellow worker. The originating employee of the emails was dismissed two months prior to my removal. I was dismissed based on association and also because i sent the emails home to review at a later date instead of using company time to view them. Do I have any recourse for severance or to get my job back?

I was employed for 3 years with a major accounting firm in the tax department. I achieved 'exceeds expectations' as an annual performance rating for each year of my employment. I was not counselled on any deficiencies or areas for improvement. I was fired 'without cause' or discussion. I was offered 3 weeks payment under the ESA and 7 weeks as a lump sum payment, without clawback. I think the 7 weeks is low. Thx
