Re: Fired for stealing

sorry you lost your job. unions are still necessary unless you have the bargaining power of barry bonds. but even he has a union.

short answer: once the statute of limitations runs on petty theft, you can assert a public disclosure of private fact tort. it all seems pretty deminimis to me and may in fact be pretextual.

sit down in front of a brick and mortar attorney for full explanation. expect to pay at least 50 bucks.

good luck
