Legal Question in Employment Law in New York
After almost 24 yrs. on the job for a labor union and with a spotless record, a disgruntled co-worker looking for vengence, told management that I was stealing. And other than his word, without any proof, they told me, I could either resign or I would lose my pension. Not even giving me a chance to fight the alegations. Can I sue them?

I am not clear whether you are suggesting that your employment makes you a union member or that you are employed directly by the labor union.
If the former, you should obviously contact your union and file a grievance against your employer. If you wish to sue, you must first follow the procedures outlined in the collective bargaining agreement.
If you are employed directly by a union employee, rather than a union member, it would then be especially ironic that a labor union, which exists in order to protect workers' rights, would be blind toward its own employee's rights.
You should contact an attorney who has experience in labor and employment law. If you would like, you may contact me, either by phone or e-mail. Phone: (212) 791-6240; e-mail: [email protected]. I have been representing union members for more than 20 years.
