Been working here for 6+ years primarily dealing with FDA-compliance issues. Often issues regarding documentation, procedures and policies are debated. Debates may get intense when no one sees the elephant whole. In 2014, I pointed out flaws in a procedure that used multiple standards and some people may have been upset by that. Had a face to face with my boss lately when I received negative comments (which were all contrary to those in previous years) such as being difficult, unprofessional, and not pragmatic. All of my attempts to defend myself was quickly dismissed as evidence of me being difficult. A dismissal is brewing.

I have a medical condition which I may require accomodation. instead of accomodation I was downsized. yet we are understaffed in my department. I was also covering an additional full time position along with my own, therefore there was work for me to do, even if my position is eliminated. do I have a case.

Terminated after 6 mos. employment due to "alleged sexual" comment. No prior warning. Employer offers 2 week " without cause" termination pay. I am 68 yrs. old.

Fired for sexual harassment ,they call me to the office show me all the police about harrasment make sign,let me know a coworker (female) ,complaint that I invite to have sexual relation. I denied it ,they have investigation. on February 19 they call me to the office the store manager read a letter say they don't believe me ,they fired me after 12 years of work and at 20 month of my retirament.is it any thing I can do??

I was terminated for just cause on Feb. 13, 2015 and my medical benefits stopped immediately. I get $177 in pills per week. Last summer I had a strained back & was off on STD for a short time. The Corporation of the County of Essex did not believe my Dr. or Physiotherapists reports had me followed & sent me to their independent therapist & made me go back to work after a 2 week suspension. In Oct. they became aware of my confussion, memory loss and sever vertigo from a head injury from a motorcycle accident from Sept. 14, 2011. ( still in the Discovery Stage ) I was given a letter stating that I was a risk to the corporation as a snow plow & tandem truck driver for them of 29 years. I am on pain medication for a pinched nerve in my left arm & shoulder so the employer put me on STD. I have been followed & seen cleaning my 92 year old father-in-laws driveway with a lawn mower & blade which they say is a misrepresentation of my abilities even though I was on pain meds at the time. I tried to go in for modified work doing inventory but looking up & down at the numbers made my vertigo unbearable. ( they say that is false representation of my ability) So they have fired me for just cause. The Teamster Union has filed a grievance & say it will have to go to arbitration. Is there anything I should be doing?
