Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

I made an agreement with someone that I would house sit for $200 a week, until all the houses were sold. They paid 3 years on the house and owed 3 years. They told the police that they didnt know me for 2 years. now the first judge put me out for 3 weeks then the second judge put me back in the apartment. 1 year 8 months later, we go back to the first judge who knows that Mazalot said he didnt know me. I brought the minutes from the second judge saying that they in fact gave me a job. Sanctions made them tell the truth bringing them a case with no merrit plus perjury, and the first judge still found them in good faith, and I had to leave the apartment. Altho it has been suggested that this ruling could make all housesitters prohibitively expensive, it is in fact likely to have more impact on agencies' profitability than on sitters themselves. the Natural Minimum Wage Act 1998, in anticipation of shady employers looking for loopholes in the legislation, was one of the most tightly drafted acts of parliment there has ever been. ' Agency Wokers ' are expressly protected by the act.the fact that what housesitters do may not seem to amount work, makes very little diffrence. Therefore, any task pleasant or undemanding, that person made a contract to do the desired work. So with this in closing, I turned down a offer that the company tried to give me. For this reason being so, I did thid because i was unlawfully mistreated off the job premisses and was not giving my rightfull Severance pay. And upon my review, the severance pay law clearly states that, Severance benefits are payments made to

employees upon the termination of

employment. Employers may choose to pay

severance benefits under a number of

circumstances, including workforce

reductions, plant closings, mergers and

acquisitions, incentives for early

retirement programs, or in exchange for a

general release of claims to discourage

terminated employees from suing the company.

Severance benefits may include salary and

health benefit continuation, outplacement

counseling, accelerated vesting of stock

options or rights to purchase stock, bonus

payments, and forgiveness of loans.

Severance benefits may be paid pursuant to a

formal severance plan regulated by ERISA or

may be offered as an informal severance

package. Employees who are offered severance

benefits should be asked to sign a general

release of all claims against their

employer, and if the employee is 40 years of

age or older, the release must comply with

the Age Discrimination in Employment Act

(ADEA) and the Older Workers' Benefits

Protection Act (OWBPA).

So upon this E-mail Iam asking for assitance, but if you honestly cant help me i would honestly understand

Also I have a letter stating that i must stay away from the vicinity of the Union. But clearly the Union has violated the Landrum Griffin Act for members to have a freedom of assembly and speech. I look foward to recieve your respose to this e-mail as soon as possible. Thank You.
