wrongful termination
i was suspended from work and ordered to attend 5 sessions of anger managment classes by my employer. upon completion of the 5 weeks of counceling i was to return to work. The employee assistant program thru the company which my supervisor requested i attend scheduled and located a counselor for me. i was told and my last paystubs indicate that i was on ''fed medical leave''. after 3 sessions (weeks) i recieved a letter of termination in the mail. is this legal and if not what do i need to do know

Re: wrongful termination
Begin with the understanding that you are an 'at will' employee, that can be fired any time, unless one of the various discrimination laws protect you. It would probably be difficult to succeed in a claim that 'anger' is a protected medical disability condition that requires accomodation. Therefore, an attorney should focus on trying to negotiate to see if we could get you returned to work, or get you some kind of seperation/severance package.
Re: wrongful termination
Absent any contract between you and your employer you should learn as much as you can from your experience and use that knowledge in the future as you have no legal recourse.
