Legal Question in Business Law in Massachusetts

Harassment by employer

I live in MA. I was fired recently for insubordination. I was harassed and verbally abused repeatedly while working for this company. The company has less than 100 employees and does not have an HR department, I had no recourse because the persons harassing me were the ones in charge. I am concerned for the other employees, is there anything I can do to get rid of the people causing this problem? The company is owned by 6 partners, now that I am unemployed, can I write to them or will this be held against me? Am I allowed to contact the other employees at the work place or do I have to contact them at home? I want this person's job, the company is being brought down, I am not the only one who was harassed. What about a company that serves alcohol on the premises? This company serves alcohol to employees (free) before 5pm - no one monitors the amount being consumed.

Re: Harassment by employer

Massachusetts law closely governs harassment in the workplace, the rights of wrongfully terminated employees, and the options available post-termination if legally impermissible. Any such claims must be carefully made according to strict procedural requirments imposed by Massachusetts statute.

Your questions can only be answered after a full analysis of the underlying facts is made. If you want to discuss the specifics of your contentions, and your rights and interests based on those facts, contact me and we can discuss the possibility of a free consultation.
