probably not, but if they promised you a position if you hung around then that constitutes a verbal agreement. That's very hard to prove unless you have witnesses and or emails to substantiate the offer. Not the best case, but depending on your evidence of a promise, it could be at least an out of court settlement. If you can get an atty to take your case on a contingent basis, you don't have anything to lose, however if you live in a small town, you'll be black balled.

Short answer, no, or at least very doubtful. You would have to prove you had a legitimate job offer from a person in authority to offer it, and you would need first hand witnesses, even then the lengthy litigation would be expensive and the outcome in doubt. As they say, verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they are written on. You can always put on your best "poker face" and bluff a law suit. But then even if you win you loose. Imangine what life would be like at that company after a successful law suit against them. The best persuit of litgation would be for money damages, but as mentioned above that would be difficult at best. Good luck with the lying bastards!

You can sue, but you won't win. Verbal promises are very difficult to enforce, and they could just say your work wasn't good enough or something. Also, the temp contract almost certainly included the language "employment at will", which means it could end in a day or a decade.
Sorry to have to deliver bad news, but it's the truth.

If you had a verbal committment from someone with the authority to hire you and you have a witness to that conversation you may be able to sue for breach of contract.
Unfortunately there is no law that prohibits hiring of relatives.

I doubt it, part of the reason work places hire temps is because they can pay them less & hire & fire them whenever they want without reason. This is a pretty crappy thing for your boss to do. File for unemployment. You may want to talk to a lawyer to check for sure, but I bet you're out of luck.

Sure, and you'll loose. And they'll fire you. After that you can sue with a good chance to win.
