Can you be fired for comments made when accidently calling your office (pocket dial).

i have been working seasonal for the last 10 years (april to Nov) and i feel the boss wants to fire me, would i be entitled to a severance for getting fired thank you

Last august i was terminated from a hotel. I worked there for about 2 months. Reason for dismissal: i was blamed for the hotel having been "robbed". They told me since i had checked in the guests (fraudulent credit card) it was my fault. They told me i had to pay for the stolen goods or i would be fired... i had a supervisor with during the check-in orocess who gave me approval to check the guests in. What can i do? Do i have a case?

Suddenly, yesterday (June 30th/15) my job as QA Coordinator, with Peppo Foods was terminated because the employer felt that i was not getting along with my fellow workers. On June 29th, a Supervisor working in the kitchen told me to drop what i was doing and help him and that i had to listen to him and do what he said. I objected and he went to the owner of the Company. I understand that this Supervisor forced a few workers to sign a piece of paper accusing me. These workers had no time to read and since they were frightened for their job the signed. I love my fellow workers and get along very well with all. Employed for 10 months full time. Contract not drawn up.

I was dismissed from my job Nov 13/12 after 23 years. I went to see an employment lawyer a couple weeks later to see if had a right to more severance and was told I had a case. I haven't heard from the lawyers office since Feb 2013! Is it too late to proceed?
