Just got word from my lawyer that i have a very good case going for me one that i didn't even know about util recently. A Privocy agreement.

[The policy of the agreement states that while employeed noone other than you and your supervisor, are susposed to know your current work status. This means that if you are suspended or terminated they have to notify you personally. They can not tell anyone other than you, your work status, or they breech that agreement. And in a court of law privocy acts are no laughing matter. It is a sirious offence.

And My boss didn't notify me personally instead he told my coleges to tell me that I was suspended and termintaed. And not just with me. With the 3 others that were suspended as well their privocy act was also breeched because other people were in the room while he was giving his dicission to terminate them.

So all together, there has been a total of 4 privocy agreement that have been breeched/broken.

So meand the others are going in on a joint case of breeched privocy agreeement.

Just keep us posted as to what happens with all of this. I agree with you in that you do actually have grounds to sue. People sue companies all the time for reasons that do not fall into the standard 5-6.

Your situation still makes my head hurt. I can see being blamed for something that you didn't do and possibly getting fired for it. (I've been repremanded for something like that b4) But when its on record that you were not even physically there and you're getting blamed is just too much. Ok, it could still happen...like if something is stolen...but bringing a weapon to work and making another one while at work is kind of a no brainer. Duh!, you have to be there in order to be guilty of it!

If you say your uncle is a judge, then I would see if you can get him to handle a lot of this...or at least advise and point you in the right direction with your lawsuit. He can most likely help you with finding a lawyer to fit with your budget too.

Just make sure to get an idea of what this will cost you before you proceed just in case this goes to court and you lose. Its better to know upfront how much the lawyer charges and how much you might be looking at having to pay for court costs.

If you intend to try to get that woman fired, be prepared to get hit w/ a countersuit from her. She did something wrong and was punished for it...attacking her after the fact may not be a wise choice. But using that situation as an example of the company's discipline policy would be a better option. I'm not saying that what she did wasn't wrong but, the company considers it a closed issue. I don't know how long ago this happened but, going after her now is a separate case in itself and probably isn't worth pursuing.

Sweet. Those can be juicy cases. :rubs hands like Mr Burns: "Excellent!"

Do you know what kinda case you are going for? A large part of civil trail lawyers usually don't charge you anything legal fees unless you win the case in court. See if the lawyers will work on a contingent fee basis so they do not get paid unless you win.
