Re: unfair dismissal

-Based on the facts you gave, I cannot tell whether you have a case or not. For instance, is the person who replaced you younger, of a different race, gender, religion, etc..

-In the early 90's companies frequently used a "RIF" (reduction in force) to mask an illegal termination. Therefore, I would need to know more facts before giving a definite answer.
