Legal Question in Employment Law in California

employer violates civil rights of employee

I worked for a disability foundation in california for several years.

I have several disabilities. One severe.

My ex employer fired me for "missing to many days at work" when I still had 8 sick hours left on my time sheet by company policy.

THEN the employer changed their minds 24 hours later and drummed up another charge to fire me on INSTEAD; insubordination. For going to my office and getting my personal effects and leaving. The amazing thing is that this organization, based in sacremento, has consistantly denied me access to health care, coverage for on the job unjury, reasonable accomodation and disregarding their publicly said commiment to helping people with disabilities work and return to work.

My question is: can an employer fire you without warning and change the reason around every 24 hours and not pay you for all your owed by said employer? AND embark on a campaign of harrassment and attack when employee requests an accomodation, or help with medical bills from on the job injury??
