On Feb 15, 2017, I was terminated from my 20 yrs of employment for "breach of trust" and "with just cause" with no compensation or offer of a severance package. This is a unionized workplace.
On Feb 14, 2017, I was made aware by my employer that their decision to terminate my employment was based on a series of answers that I gave during a phone call with a Human Resource Coordinator of an agency in another city to provide a reference for a former colleague of mine. Apparently my former colleague put me down as her supervisor without my knowledge. Employer said I mispresented the agency .
I believe I was wrongfully terminated.
My union representatives stated to me that they could not get my job back.
What can I do now?
I thank you in advance for your time and attention on my situation. I look forward to hearing back from you to further discuss my situation in more details. Regards
Hi there, given that you are in a unionized environment, your option for recourse is to file a grievance. You can speak to a union steward about this process, and also review the applicable sections of your collective agreement.
