Legal Question in Employment Law in Pennsylvania
Employment Law
My position was eliminated last month and I've learned they have reposted it internally just this week. Same job description, different title. Mine was Education Specialist and the new title is Knowledge Center Customer Service Assistant. Is this legal?

Re: Employment Law
Here's the Law School answer: "It depends."
How old are you? Do you perceive some animosity based on national origin, religious, gender, or racial characteristics? Are you regarded as having a disability even if untrue? Had you exercised some right under some law which resulted in your being retailiated against?
Do you have a contract, either individually or as the result of a collective bargaining agreement? Is there a union organizing campaign taking place?
Law is not a black box into which one can reach for one answer to fit all people.
If any of the above factors ring true, consult with your local L&E, i.e., labor and employment law counsel.
Good Luck.
