I was let go from my job due to having a few sick days. My employer knows I have underlying health issues and had agreed to work around it. A member of my family became ill, requiring my attention for a week. I requested the week off and was told I was being let go. I was the assistant manager, I feel she could have demoted me or given me some notice. She also forced me to quit my second job in order to keep the job at her business, she then fired me a week later. She knows of my poor health and poor financial situation. What can I do to justify this situation? There has to be some way I can take her to the labour board.

You may have grounds for a wrongful dismissal claim, but it is difficult to say without more information.
Your possible entitlements on termination will depend on the terms of your employment. If you were terminated for cause (as opposed to on a without cause basis) that is a high bar to meet and your employer may not have had sufficient cause to do so.
We would need more information to properly advise you on your rights and options. If you would like to schedule a consultation, please contact us at the number below.
