Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),

Thank you for your question.

I need just a bit more information.

1. How many employees does the company have?

2. how many employees at your location?

3. What kind of business is it?

4. Does your company do interstate business

5. Are you a member of a union or is your company a so called union shop?

Reply to Ed Johnson's Post: I work for a timing company. We have 3 employees and about 25 contactors. We time marathon, triathlons, etc. About 90% of our business is throughout Texas. The rest is the surrounding states. I am not a member of a union and I don't know what a union shop is. When he told me he was letting me go he couldn't give a valid reason. He stated that he liked my work and wished he could keep me but couldn't afford.

Dear Customer (name blocked for privacy),

Under the information given, it is hard to justify a wrongful discharge law suit. This was free will employment, and essentially, the employer can let you for just about any reason they choose.

However, they are not allowed to discharge you (prejudicially-emj)

It may be weak, but I think you might have an EEO complaint. Under the latest EEO rules and regulation, equal opportunity is more than ethnicity and gender related issues.

You should find an attorney who is skilled in employment law and speak to him or her face to face. Most will give you those minutes free, and determine if you have a crediblel case. If you do, they will most likely take the case on contingency.
