Re: Unfair Firing and Slander
While employers are not required to furnish a reason for terminating an employee, you do have the right to review your personnel file to see what they have put in it.
It is unlawful for an employer to blackball former employees. It is also unlawful to make false statements that can injure a person's reputation or character. The tough part is proving that the former employer made the statements.
You should meet with a local labor law attorney to explore ways to protect yourself.
