If I am a unionized employee and my employment is terminated can I file a wrongful dismissal suite as well as a grievance through the union

I was off on medical leave. When I returned I was being constantly questioned about how I was performing my job. Was asked if the job was suited for me any longer. The medical leave I was on was monitored by an outside company. They made the decision iif I was able to work or not. After 4 weeks I was still not able to do my job properly. I should mention that I was an assistant manager. They pressured me so much about my job, even mentioned I should step down. So the doctor took me off longer. While I was off and under pressure from the company, I suggested they give me a package deal to leave. They did. But when I talked to the doctor he suggested I go back and ask for my job back because I was off on medical leave and in no state of mind to make that discussion. When I went back they said no. I was in a major depression and was so messed up that I could not make doscussions. Do I have a right to fight them?

is there a time limit to sue after wrongful dismissal

Yesterday my employer told me that he had excepted my notice of resignation effective immediately. No such notice was given to my employer. This followed shortly after I had emailed my employer about a new employee who was quickly given a promotion as supervisor. I advised my employer that this now new supervisor was harassing me causing much stress and anxiety. I went on explaining to my employer directly on an email that this new supervisor was referring to me with inappropriate slang and language. Losing my job was my employers way of resolving the ongoing harassment on the job site.
