I was recently fired from my job because other employees wrote false statements out. What do I do?


They said I had threatened them and I hadn't even had an arguement with anyone. I am bi-polar and I think they just wanted to get me out of there. Can I file defamation of character or a libel suit against the employees themselves? I have already filed a charge with the Civil Rights Commitee

Call your state's labor board and ask first of all if you live in a 'right to work' state. Some states are not right to work states and the reasons for termination can be as ridiculous as they thought you were too ugly for the job. Really. You might ask the Civil Rights Committee or call the Americans Disability Act office and inquire about your condition being a life altering condition and are there any stipulations regarding accomodations. See, the ADA does not cover disablilities, the act covers the life altering conditions like insulin dependence, eye glass wear, etc. You stated you are bi-polar, well being bi-polar is not covered in itself. The symptoms of bi-polar are covered or should be by ADA. Call your labor board, EEOC(equal employment opportunity commission), and ADA. Your state may also have another agency that can help you, and that maybe Human Rights Division, not the same as Civil Rights.

Bottom line, arm yourself with knowledge and think about this: Do you really want to work somewhere where everyone seems to dislike you enough to do this? I know and realize it isn't easy getting a job, but I just wanted to throw that out there to you.

If they were Republicans forget it. They have more money.

ASK AN ATTORNEY, NOT YAHOO ANSWERS!

Go postal. Works for me.

Get revenge, by any means nescesary!

Yes you can! You have the right to be cleared. You would have to go to the department of labor or employment comission of your state. Check with them first. Good Luck and forget those jerks. You didnt need that crappy job anyway. You'llget a much betterone, watch!

Good luck. It is their word against yours.

Also, contact the Labor Department. And, when you file for Unemployment benefits, take it all the way to the Appeal Division. Document everything. Good luck!

Yes you can file my uncle just went through the same thing he has an awsome set of attorneys, which is lead to a wrongful termination suit.Would you want to be contacted?
