Please I would like to hear from a labor lawyer. I work for the NYCT as a bus operator. I was involved in an accident and 18 people claimed injury ( all neck and back). I have not been allowed to drive since then . Approxly 58 days late I was told that transit was recommending dismissal. I would like to know how transit could dismiss a person for one accident with no deaths and the person has a clean record. I have been operatoringa bus for 2 years

Hi,

I am a NY lawyer but not conversant with the laws regarding improper dismissal. Do you want some referrals of attorneys for you to contact in Manhattan or do you want an answer here. I'm not sure that there is a NY labor lawyer among our legal experts on Just Answer.

Hi Rich thanks for responding. I would like help from one of the labor laywers there. Transit doesn't allow outside lawyers at abrtrition hearings I don't feel like my best interest is being meet by the union lawyers. Since abrtrition decisions are final I really need to know if this is legal for them to do. Dismiss a person with a clean record for 1 accident where there are no deaths or broken or missing lims.

Hi

We lawyers use the Martindale Hubbell legal directory to locate attorneys in all geographic areas countrywide and who specialize in different areas of law. You need an employment specialist, but your case does not present a unique situation. Unfortunately, it happens often. And I am aware that outside lawyers are not allowed at arbitrations. I have been involved with a few and have basically been in the hallway to advise my client periodically during the hearing. You need a consultation with an attorney and maybe his/her appearance informally on the day of the arbitration.

I have attached a link to the Martindale Hubbell employment attorneys in Manhattan. It's a long list. Forget the big firms with institutional clients. Go through the descriptions and choose a small firm that does PRIMARILY employment/discrimination law.

Please press ACCEPT. POSITIVE FEEDBACK is always appreciated.
