Legal Question in Employment Law in California

wrongfull termination

After ten years of employment with this organization, after having received highly rated performance revieues I was terminated. Cause for termination has not yet been defined exactly but it has to do with accepting a gratuity from an old friend who I, as a manager, had no direct contact with.The item in question is not an item that this company sells nor uses. Two of us were terminated for the same situation yet one was given their job back. From day one I have been out on stress disability. Age also plays a part.the other person was younger. Must the company define to me the exact reason why I was terminated. I was originally accused of mismarking product within my area of responsibility but they found this to be of common occurance throughout the chain. The union has said that they will take this case to the limit but after six months I don't see any gain for me as the stress has caused me not to want to go back to work for this organization. The union said they would at least get me my back pay. I have been humilliated and used wrongfully as an example by this organization.
