Legal Question in Employment Law in California

I have recently recieved word from a potential employer that the last company I worked for told them that the reason I didn't work out at their company is because they thought I had a drug problem with speed. I have been unemployed for almost a year and a half looking for work and wondering why I couldn't get any call backs. When I left the position, I was let go, but the GM of the company told unemployment that I quit. 3 months later I met with the judge an the Board of Appeals in SF and won the case. I believe that my ex-employer is saying these type of things to other potential employers and want it to stop. Maybe it's a form of revenge on their side. None of the accusations are true and cannot be proven. I also have the letters and papers I showed the judge for the unemployment verdict. What can I do to make this stop?

IF you could prove the employer is making FALSE statements about you, it is grounds for a slander suit. Talk to a local employment lawyer, who can tell you your best course of action with all your facts.
