Re: wrongful demotion
If the demotion was in response to your FMLA leave, then it is illegal. It is difficult to tell from what you posted as to the detail of the facts of your situation.
If you feel as if you have been retaliated against for the exercise of some right, or if you feel as if some right has been denied to you (i.e., the right to take leave), then you should consult with an attorney to go over your situation. An attorney can provide much more information in a 30 minute consultation than can possible be provided in this forum.
