I learned recently that the union representing my former employer were overpaid union dues during my time as a bargaining member. An agreement has been made for them to reimburse employees the difference that was overcharged, however, they are keeping this repayment to only current employees. Is this theft from me, as I no longer work there?

I was dismissed without cause while under the care of a Doctor. The reason I will under his care was because this company sent me into a very dangerously high blood pressure position ( Dr feared congenital heart failure) due to the pressure then put me under that day.

I was terminated without cause after 18 years, the contract states I would receive 2 weeks per year of service plus payment in lieu of notice. I only received 18 weeks plus payment in lieu. My benefits were terminated 1 week after my dismissal. Would this render their clause null and void?

I am on maternity leave returning May 6, and I just received a letter from my employer stating that my employment will terminate on May 1 due to a shortage of work.

I was recently released from my job after 7.5 years. In the meeting HR and my manager did not give me a reason. Just said I was not a fit for the company. I later found out that a manager complained about my attitude towards her staff and that was the reason for my dismissal. I've had a few disagreements and verbal attacks from these employees but nothing was done about it. I feel it was a prejudice decision.
