I am a beer store worker and have been in the same store for several years. I am a hard worker and have never had an issue with either a customer or co-worker. The new Manager (has been there about a year) has been on my case since day one. Always looking at his watch when I walk through the door....I start at 10 and arrive at 10. He picks on me for everything. This week I entered the store at 10am for my shift and he immediately started to attack me verbally infront of customers. I verbalized back at him and then he asked me to see him in the back of the store. I said I would serve the customers first and see him back there after. When we met in the back we had a very heated conversation. He said to me that "well why don't you leave then". It was not a demand or an order. I continued to finish my shift and left. That evening he sent me a text stating that due to my outburst that I was suspended until further notice because I would have a negative impact on the business and my co-workers. I have spoken with my co-workers and they all think this is ridiculous. I have contacted my union rep and we are now having a hearing next week. Can I be fired for this and if they continue to employ me do they have to pay me for the suspension days.
