Is there anyone I can call for wrongful termination?

My two cents, small, insecure and often times inept at their own job people do this. My advice is to "help the pot stirrer" and get your side out to the people who count, those that will be making the decisions. I have respect for seniority, they are my mentors....but there is always going to be that senior who backed up to his paycheck for years and has nothing better to do than mess with someone he/she can only dream or wish he was equal to on the job. Hang in there and don't be afraid to speak up and go through the proper chanels and do not stoop to this co-workers level.

 

Any updates?

 

If your a good driver and know the way to deliver FUEL, start looking around for other companies. Its not easy as one would think, to find someone that knows the in`s and out`s of hauling a tanker loaded with FUEL. Can be very dangerous. Safety should be their priority, and maybe it was finding out, your releasing fuel on the side of the road. You probably have procedures on this situation, and did you follow them? Probably just a minor situation, but violated company policy. If I were the company, I probably would keep you. But definitely right you up. It is hard to find a good driver, Hauling Fuel, as to hire a New Driver with little or no experience. I would feel safe the keep the Driver that has many years of experience. Good Luck

FYI even though you work/live in a right to work or an at will state you can file suit by following the correct steps. The first step is to file a Charge of Discrimination with the EEOC within 180 days of your termination. You can go to their office or file by mail. Here's a link to the main office http://www.eeoc.gov/. You can find the location of the office that's closest to you. Either way you file keep to the facts that lead up to your termination and the reasons that you feel they discriminated against you. Give them the names and contact information of anyone that can and will verify what you said happened. Be aware that people who say they'll back you up often won't because they're afraid of loosing their job. They'll assign an investigator who will contact you and any witnesses that you've listed in your charge. The long and short of it is that EEOC will eventually issue a "right to sue" letter which you'll have to have in order to hire an attorney. You'll have to find an attorney that handles EEOC cases if you want to have a snow balls chance of successfully wining. It won't be fast and the attorney is going to have to be confident that they can recover monies other wise they won't take the case. Good luck
