More details to this question:
Last Monday (10th) I was told I was laid off due to my position being eliminated. There were two new hires who had started the week of 11/3 and another new hire that started on 11/17. I am just wondering if there are any laws/rights in the state of Ohio with this type of a situation. I was not provided any details of what they had reviewed as far as who to determine to lay off. Our company just went through a G&A cut off 22 million. If more details are needed just let me know.

The fact you were told your position was eliminated when it was not would tend to show there might have been another reason for your termination. If the reason you were terminated was unlawful such as discrimination or violation of another statute, then you may have a legal claim. Contact an employment attorney.
