Legal Question in Employment Law in Ohio

I you are in a union, you need to check with your collective bargaining agreement. You may or may not have the right to be rehired, and there may be deadlines placed on notices of one or the other, but you will want to check with your union steward or rep and your collective bargaining agreement.

If you are not in a union, you will want to check with your contract for hire. If you do not have a contract or collective bargaining agreement of some kind, it is possible that you could be an at-will employee.

If this isn't a "re-hire" issue but instead is a lay-off issue, there are some federal laws that require prior notice before certain numbers of people are laid off by certain kinds of companies. You should speak with an attorney in your area to see what is available to you after you check your collective bargaining agreement or contract.
