I'm being terminated without cause and for the last 5 years I've worked in a senior management head office position without an employment contract. I've requested a severance package in writing so I can sign it before proceeding with my compensation. I requested more than the provincial minimums in Canada. And 7 days before I was informed of my lay off, I also witnessed the company lay off over 20 other staff from a different department.

Knowing that myself and many of these staff have received offers for bare minimums in severance pay, could the other 20 staff also request more appropriate compensation than the minimums? And if the company doesn't cooperate with any of us could this become a class action lawsuit?
