Add Comment Question: Worked for 6 years as a contractor for a large cable company.Federal regulations apply. Wrongful dismissal. Union negotiating going on. What compensation should I expect.I am almost 60, and may not find another job in this economy. Please advise. Answer: If you are a unionized employee then, unfortunately, only the union can represent you and you cannot sue your employer in civil court. In essence, this means that whatever the union negotiates for you is ultimately what you can hope to get.
