  • File a grievance with either your union or the National Labor Relations Board. Even with your union they can't fire you for reason without some disciplinary first. They can fire you without a reason if you live in a state that has "at will" laws. They can fire you for any reason as long as they don't fire you illegally. Like if you are part of a protected group. Gay , old, veteran etc.

    • I got fired for falsifying on temperature logs and product weight merchandise paperwork. I was never written up by management/ supervisor or got suspended nor did anyone tell me that by writing down some bullshit would lead me to being terminated. When I sat down to talk to HR about this I didn't know I needed a Union rep beside me to talk this through but little did I know this was gonna fired for this. We were short staffed, no manager, and no body bother doing paper work because we were to focus on making sales. Not just I but my clerks were informed to never turn in documents unwritten/ blank or otherwise we would get suspended. I even showed proof to HR that I wasn't the only one doing this. I still have the photos but the rest of the documents are at work.

      • I just received word I am not qualified for unemployment. Unfortunately I don't have enough money to afford a lawyer.

      • Like I said. File a grievance with the union. If they won't help, file a grievance against the local union with the national headquarters and then file a grievance with the NLRB on the company. On top of that, get an attorney. If you are represented, by a union, you have a contract. In that contract it should clearly state the steps that must be followed in order to fire someone. If the company didn't follow the contract, sue them. However, in the future, if someone tells you to do something that is wrong, tell your boss. If it is the boss that is telling you to do something wrong, tell HR. If HR won't do something about it, tell the owner of the company and always keep a log or journal and never surrender any potential evidence. If they want it for their records, make them copies and you keep the originals.
