QUESTION
Who, What, When, How, Will I or Do I?
Asked on May 18th, 2016 on Wrongful Termination - California
More details to this question:
If I have been singled out and laid off under the excuse of "Lack of Work" after 7 years on the job. For what I believe to be due to consulting with my union reps regarding a dress code issue, questioning my supervisor regarding a wrongful termination of a co worker, or blowing the whistle for unsafe working conditions, would that be considered "wrongful termination"?

If provable, yes, probably on all counts....In California there is a labor code section on protecting union or collective activities not to mention Constitutional protections for the right of free association...there are also provisions for protecting employees from retaliation for complaining about unlawful acts.......i.e., wrongful termination.......and also for complaining about unsafe working conditions....as far as the layoff is concerned......how many employees who were similarly situated as you were laid off and was any reason given for the layoff? Also did company have policies re: Layoffs?.........Stephan Math Esq., smesq1@aol.com
