Legal Question in Employment Law in California
defaming reference
I have heard that there is some protection against former employers making negative statements about a worker to a prospective new employer. It is so? If so, I need a lawyer. My former employer has possibly defamed me to a prospective employer because of protected actions I undertook while employed.

Re: defaming reference
You are only protected if the statements are untrue. if they are you can sue for defamation.
