Made a complaint then followed through with MOL only to be told after there's short of work and when I contacted person MOL rep told me to I was dismissed saying it was harassment

I was let go from my job 2 weeks ago and the reason they gave was "without cause" i was there almost a year never been written up never even been given a verbal warning. Now I see they are hiring. Is this grounds for wrongful termination?

I sent a letter to my employer expressing the nanute of the shift being unsafe. Also informed how badly my foot was hurting. On the letter, I also did say somewhere, that I did not want to proceed any further, my disability claim. But my said that was a resignation letter, terminated my employment via email. I sent an email the next day to inform that, that was not a resignation letter. Employer refused and said he will take as a resignation letter. I believe that is wrongful dismissal, because I insisted that I never resigned, but didnt seem to care. Please advise, I would like to sue the employer, but what is my case?

I was hired as a driver. Been with the company 33 years. On modified duties. I feel I am being penalized for getting hurt on the job. I have requested no retaliation for being on modified duties. I was sent out to sweep up goose poop which is done by an outside company, I feel this regional manger has done this out of spite, tries to disgrace and humiliate me in front of my peers in order for me out of frustrations to go back to my regular job. I filed a formal complaint on this person but my fears will be retaliation not only through him but his supervisor under him. I have never been through such vindictiveness as this in my years with this company I love my job, I believe I am a model employee who comes to work on a daily basis very rarely late, 110% to the company and this is the way I am being treated. I feel what he has done to me is wrong as for the years of my experience I have never seen or heard of anyone on modified duties be made to go outside to sweep up goose poop when we have outside contractors to do this job. I am under the federal jurisdiction as we are unionized workers. A formal complaint has been submitted by me. Investigation is under way I have as yet heard the outcome as to how the company will handle this situation. What happens if retaliation continues through other supervisors under his directive. What do I do if they are trying to get me to quit? I am concern over this as this person is the regional manager of this company... I feel he may use his authority to continue with this type of behavior. Please advise.
