I have been sacked after 20 years employment - everyone else has been granted an amnesty. Is it legal to deny me the amnesty. I am due to go to appeal in a weeks time and would like to go there with this knowledge

With no Union, a company can do pretty much what it wants to do with few exceptions. Sorry, but that is how it is sometimes.

Well you didn't give much detail but if you were working for a company that has singled you out for termination then there's not really much that can be done unless you belong to a ,,,, or ,,,, the union that deals with this company ,,,, This is one of the goods thing about unions and what they are for ,,,,Unions protect peoples jobs ,,,, If you are non union then you are out in the cold ,,,, You didn't mention if this appeal was being submitted to the company or the courts ,,,, If it's to the company then I wouldn't be too hopeful ,,, The only other course you have is to present this situation to the courts in a law suit ,,,,
But I wouldn't put just too much hope in that either because the company (which ever one that is) has the necessary funds to tie the whole thing up in litigation for longer than you'd live if they chose to ,,,, Continue with your appeal and even take it to court if you want to but I would suggest that in the mean time you find other employment if you haven't already ,,,,
Good luck to you and stay the course ,,, Yoda told you this ,,,,

I think it would depend on what state you live in. Different rules. Definately not fair after such a long time of employment. May I ask, amnesty from what? Something illegal?

I have no clue what your talking about but generally amnesty is granted, it is not something one has a legal right to obtain it.

You forgot 1 key piece of info, what did you get fired for? It is up to an employer who they do and do not grant amnesty to, I believe> Maybe you should look at what you did to get fired.

Depends what the amnesty was for and what you were sacked for.

Unless it's directly discrimination, it's perfectly legal. You're going to have a really hard time winning your appeal.

You need representation, contact ACAS for advice on where you stand. They'll need to know everything that happened.

You sound like a target and also discrimination too.
