Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Can't get hired after termination
I'm a truck driver who had an
accident that during an ice storm in
KY, and at the time was cited for
''fleeing the scene of the accident'' by
the officer. I contended that
the accident was unavoidable and the
other truck driver's fault. Two days
later, I was required to report to a
company terminal where I was
terminated by a manager I had never
met and who could not provide a
specifics for termination other than
by way of reference to 2 accidents on
his computer screen. So, this one
no-damage no-fault event, and the
other is a claim by
another driver for an unsubstantiated
event from months ago. I have not
been provided any documentation of
that claim, and insist no accident
occurred. I tried to contact
my employer later and piece together
my problems, but nobody would
return calls. I was able to
collect unemployment however.
After months the citation was
dismissed. There is nothing on my
DAC report, but I can't seem to get
another job.

Re: Can't get hired after termination
Why are you asking CA attorneys about a KY incident and charges? If you were a KY employee, we can't help you. If you were a CA employee, we still can't help you with KY problems, and you were an 'at will' employee for CA unless under union or written employment contract that would determine your rights. At will means you get fired whenever they want. Getting a new job is up to a new employer, who will be checking your driving and accident records. Truck drivers with accidents and tickets and convictions probably won't get hired, and records are forever. If the KY record is somehow incorrect, then seek a KY attorney to see if it can be corrected.
