Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois
Wrongful Termination
Yes I worked at a Lady Footlocker. And Beore I was fired my manager went outside the company and told another company. This employee at a cingular wireless told me that she said she didnt like me and there was things I was doing she didnt like and how she was going to fire me. Then the next day she did. I call fair employment practice and they are not doing anything about it. I know wha she did was against company policy and I do believe that has grounds for some type of consequence. And there were a lot of things she was doing to another employee that was not equal or fair employment. What can I do? Do I have grounds for a law suit?

Re: Wrongful Termination
Not likely. You can try to take it up with someone higher up in the corporation, but unless you had an employment contract with LF, you were an at-will employee subject to termination for just about any reason, so long as it isn't something like discrimination under Title VII, and it doesn't sound like it was.
