I was given the letter on the first day i was supposed to join. I have been told by my coworkers that i should take them to court as this is wrong and injustice. the reason for this termination given to me is restructuring but they have hired a temp person who is doing my job. I was on disability leave because i got in a car accident and hurt my back. I was getting treatment and was away from work for 2 months.
what action can i take against them?
I just cant understand how they can just let me go. is there a way i can get my job back. should i try to get my job back or just legal action against them. i work for a big company. I work in the office. employers = 10,000..been working there for 7 years.
thanks for reading.

i am not hiding anythinf from my side. i was given the letter the first day that i was supposed to join. my coworkers are speechless. i knew in a way that my manager always wanted someone else for my position. the manager even asked me once if i was interested in going to a different department.
I am a good worker and was liked by my coworkers. i even got excellence awards and good reviews. i just cant understand why??? restructuring ..comeon. doesnt make any sense

Go to your work source in your city, and file for unemployment make them pay you in the mean time. They will assign your case a worker who will ask you if you were let go unfairly etc... they will help you with everything from there. Your job will have to prove why they let you go. Also check with lawyers. Good Luck.

Sounds like your manager just didn't like you or something. It's a pretty nasty thing to do and you could probably file a wrongful termination suit. The problem is that with a company that big, it would take a few $100,000 before you go to trial four years from now.
The best thing to do is write an email to all of the local papers, radio stations and TV stations asking for help and don't lie or exaggerate. Also write the CEO a non-threatening letter. CEO's in companies that size usually don't know some of the nasty things that their managers do to people..
Don't sit around waiting for something to happen on this, start looking for a new job.

Job seniority is perhaps one of the most important benifits that collective bargaining has established for long-service employees, Most collective agreements make some provision for the long service. When employers are obliged to reduce their work force. while the application of seniority to any reduction in a work force may appear simple and straight forward, in reality it is not so. A reduction in the number of employees required to perform the work during the periods of decreased demand for the employer's products or services seldom means that the reduction can take place uniformly throughout the entire operation. Some employees, regardless of their length of service must be retained because of their essential skills. In addition , the personnel needs in some some departments may be substantially less than in others. Con sequently, where a reduction in the number of employees takes place, it often has a disruptive effect throught the organisation if a job security system based upon plant -wide seniority has been included in the collective agreement by the parties
One of the more common types of job security clauses found in collective agreements entiles a long-serviceemployee whose position has been eliminated to request placement in an exixting position occupied by a less senior employee. this process,which is refered to as bumping, usually permits the long-service employees to replace the less senior incumbent in the position, provided the senior employee is able to perform the work required. A notice of layoff, where a a staff reduction is proposed,as a result, may trigger a series of moves throught the work force, as positions are eliminated (either on a short -term or a permenent basis) and a senior employees in those positions demand the right to jobs held by less senior employees. Under these citcumstances, the employer must acess the suitability of each senior employee for the position described, based upon the criteria set out in the collective agreement and in accordence with procedure established for the moves.

I don't know where you are but, here in Florida the employer must reserve a job for a worker who is unable to work due to disability. Not necessarily their old job, but a job.
You need to seek legal counsel on this.

do we have all of the facts in this case? Strange it sounds like some thing has been left out. I find it a little bit hard to believe that a company that employs as many folks as they do would single you out and discharge you knowing that they could find themselves in some real serious crap.
Note; In Texas you can be released with out cause
