Legal Question in Employment Law in California

Re: looking beyond Union Representation

You need to file a complaint with Dept. of Fair Employment & Housing. Before you sue your employer...you need to exhaust your administrative remedies...and get a right to sue letter from them. I can help you out !!Please take a look at my site at www.lawyers.com/amyghosh

Re: looking beyond Union Representation

in order for you to get recourse for wrongful termination, you have to show a "bad cause" motive for your employer terminating you from your "at will" employment status. typically this means discrimination, sexual harassment, etc...if you can email me directly with more details along these lines describing your release, as well as if you have a legal budget to pursue your claims in court, i may be able to further assist you in this matter.

Re: looking beyond Union Representation

Thank you for your posting.

Your headline mentions a union, but you did not give details in your facts. Typically, a union contract states that you may or may not have certain rights, and you may have to go through a rep or arbitration/mediation instead of filing a case with a courthouse.

As Mr. Torrey suggested, you do have to show that you were either not at will (via contract or otherwise), or that the firing was based on an illegal pretext (you were fired based upon race, religion, national origin, etc.), or that you were demoted without cause, you would have cause to sue.

I hope that this information helps, but if you have further questions, want more information, or feel that you need legal representation, please feel free to email me directly at [email protected]. I am happy to help in any way that I can.
