Hi I am looking to sue my employer for firing me as I left a job to work for him, told him my availability when he hired me (which was agreed on by him at the time), but was subsequently fired after being consistantly pushed to work far more hours than I had available. They had a meeting with me and told me that we would have to part ways and I left, understanding I had been fired. I followed up for an roe as my husband is disabled and all circumstances of my income have to be reported to them and the require me to pursue such things as ei, for which I needed an roe. It's been miscategorized to express that I quit due to caregiver responsibilities. This was never the case and I am looking to sue to have this corrected, but am confused as to whether I am making my case against the store owner (my employer) who directly fired me, the corporation or both. Can you please advise?

Wrongfully terminated, settlement incomplete, union will not release vacation pay until June and December, sighting articles relating to vacation pay and "employee". Question: since I am no longer "employee" but unemployed Member facing financial hardship and loss, may I legally compel the union to release my vacation pay on demand, subject only to reasonable admin fee? I believe the article reads as to restrict the provision of withholding to the "employee" and not to the unemployed union member facing financial hardship.
