go straight to the superior of the person who fired you and state your case. if that doesnt help, consult an attorney.

i do no longer think of so. it may rely on what state you reside in too. In Georgia that's a proper to paintings state. meaning that employers can hire or hearth everybody they like for terribly almost any reason. the reality which you have ignored assorted paintings is probable what's hurting you. you won't be costing them funds because of the fact they do no longer pay your sick days however the fewer bypass tracing you do ability the fewer probable they're to getting back their merchandise. EDIT: the two way, you does no longer be WRONGFULLY terminated, because of the fact your very own subjects are interfering along with your paintings. they could no longer even evaluate the courtroom area as important adequate for termination, it must be your absences due on your doubtless fictitious ailment. Suck it up and pass to paintings, in case you're fairly sick from working there, locate yet another job!

you definitely have a case, but its not open shut in your favor. You are going to have to not just prove it wasn't your fault directly or indirectly, but also that it is not your sole responsibility. If its partly yours then that's fine, but the punishment must be spread evenly among the others who are responsible. If you work in California, there is a law, (I forget it's name) but it says that there is an agreement between employers and employees where employers can fire you without cause. I don't know about other states. Call and get some (more than one definitely) consultations from some lawyers. But even if you do work in California and there is that law your spouse can sue the employer (as told to me by lawyer - recently went through this). I'm not sure if that law applies for government employees, but I'm sure it would.

From the start of what? Make sure you can prove that you weren't there or weren't responsible, then at the least, file for unemployment benefits due to a bogus termination. If you can't prove anything (and likely, neither can they, or they would be prosecuting you and not just firing you), then just cut your losses and work somewhere else.

That's not good, I would do what the first guy said and file a grievance with the human resource person, and see what happens.

If you are unionized, call the union and they will represent you.
If you aren't, complain higher up the ladder, but don't expect to get anywhere. It would be completely legal for them to fire you.

Why do they suspect you? Go higher up the ladder and complain. If you are unionized contact the union.

Most jobs are at-will so anyone can be fired at any time for no reason. Find another job.
