Can a former employer give you a bad reference if you quit because you are going to school and they wanted you to work a different shift? And you find a job had that job and lost it because of your former employers bad reference.

Re: reference
It is unlawful for the former employer to provide false information or unnecessary information intended to interfere with your ability to obtain a future position. From the facts you described, you may be entitled to bring an action against the former employer. You should contact an attorney to more fully investigate bringing such an action.
