Re: Breach of Confidentuality regarding injury in the workplace

Hello, I wish I could give you an opinion, but I cannot without more facts. I dont know what you say you did and employer says you did -- in detail. I am sure about what rules they said you violated, whether you were terminated. Your employer can accuse you of anything they want, whether you have any legal rights to do anything about it, I cant answer based on the facts presented. Best wishes, Mark J. Mahoney
