Re: family medical leave

The Federal Family Medical Leave Act supercedes the traditional rule in most states, including the commonwealth, that a worker can be fired for good rason, bad reason or no reason at all.

Sounds like a pretextual discharge where your rights must be asserted in a federal forum for retaliatory discharge inviolation of the FML statute. Contact a labor and employment lawyer about addressing this injustice on a contingent fee.

Good Luck
