My last couple months we not very enjoyable, i had been suspended and written up for missing work without calling a couple times. The last time was the final straw and they fired me. I have numerous people telling me I should have received a severance pay package, but according to the company associates, as well as my own union rep, I am not entitled to one. Please let me know what you think of my story, I'd be happy to provide you with more info. Answer: If you believe that you have been wrongfully dismissed, I advise proceeding through your union and the terms of your collective agreement. Unfortunately, unless your union is failing to act for you, there is nothing that an employment lawyer can do for you.
