Inn to be fired from work for sexual harrassment that never happened?

I have been at the same company, my whole career. I was 6 months away from retirement and was fired for sexual harassment towards 2 secretaries.I am hurt and betrayed , that after forty five years of service, I didn't get to put my two cents in on what happened , just boom - your fired. A lot of people I thought were my friends, have turned their back on me.

They also fired my personal assistant ,who has been my right hand lady for over 40 years after she stuck up for me.She is worried about not getting our Christmas bonuses and all of our benefits because of this. She has a been a rock through all of this and visited me in the hospital after my heart attack.

I didn't even know the one secretary's name and the other one is angry because I got on her case about playing on her phone,being rude to clients , and being late everyday. I was in the hospital a couple days after the incident and had a mild heart attack. I am doing better.

My wife and daughter believe me and think I should sue. I want to clear my name, but I also don't want to stress myself to death.

    I love the USA: the unique blend of unrestrained capitalism, a preference for summary justice, and rampant victim-mentality produces fascinating stories.

    Isn't "Sue the bastards!" the normal response in such cases?

    If the company has legal immunity due to the law allowing them to fire anyone for any reason, can't you sue the secretaries? Or does their Constitutional right to free speech mean they're free to slander you?

      Yes. But I don't want to give myself anymore heart attacks. I get chest pains if I think about it too much.

    Good idea if they won't give you details and it's tarnished your reputation.

    I was written up once for sexual harassment once. I was working at a very busy restaurant as a cook. On the night in question we cleared eighteen thousand in one night. It was crazy.

    The next day I arrived at work and was summoned to the managers office. There the assistant manager gave me my write up. I could tell he did not want to do it. My store manager just sat there looking superior. I was informed that I sexually harassed someone. No question just you are guilty.

    Who was it? We can't tell you. When did I do it? Last night. But when? It doesn't matter. What did I do? You called a towel a rag. What? An if you ever do it again you will be fired. What? Now go to work.

    Seven people where written up. Six men, and my kitchen manager a women. After a few days our assistant manager let it slip. At the end of the night our kitchen manager asked us how many rags we needed to clean the kitchen and we all answered. I needed four rags.

    Now this meant little to most of use but it totally screwed our kitchen manager. Now she had a sexual harassment complain in her file. Officially ending any hope of moving up in the company.

    I am thinking of calling my boss and calmly stating my case to him when he gets back from vacation, Monday. If they refuse to hear me out, or give me anymore trouble getting my unemployment or other benefits, I will be contacting a lawyer. Good idea , or bad idea?
