Hey, i worked for a big construction company for about 3 years, every winter we get layed off and start back up in the spring, my uncle was my foreman, he apparantly didnt want me back on his crew but wasnt opposed to me moving crews, the owner doesnt want to move anyone around and left it to my foreman, technically told me to find a new job, but their leaving it as lay off due to shortage of work, and they have moved other people around and even hired new people for other crews and to fill my position. I only found out because of rumours spreading i wasnt coming back and because i called my foreman myself while he was on vacation. If i didnt call when would i have found out? Can they do this? What am i entitled to, what can be my options from here ?! Please help!
