QUESTION
I worked as a license weighmaster, recently I was laid off and a unlicensed weighmaster is doing my job at a lower pay. Do I have legal recourse

More details to this question:
I was laid off due to what I was told was a "lack of work" but there is a unlicensed weighmaster writing the weights of trucks on manual weight tickets. If i'm correct even writing the weights of inbound and outbound trucks across a certified scale in NJ is work that requires a NJ weighmaster.

You can check with the state of New Jersey to determine if this is a licensed position. If a license is required, then you have a strong position if the person does not have a license. If no license is required by the state, then you're in a difficult position. We can check with the state of New Jersey for you. However, I was trying to save you from not spending legal fees. Ed Dimon. I did check with my sources. This is a licensed position. Loads being sent out on the road have to be certified. I am of the opinion that you would have a cause of action against your employer if you were let go and replaced by a non-licensed person. Please call and we can discuss the cause of action against your employer and the cost for same. My number is 732-797-1600. My extension is 235. Ed Dimon
