[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 524867, member: 1514"] Half the states in the US are at will states because they dont have unions. No one wants unions. Well I guess some folks do but most dont, including businesses and working people dont want to pay union dues because we make less money down south. So we are an at will state which means they can fire you at will even if that means they dont like the color of your eyes one day. However, firing because they dont like the color of your eyes most of the time will get you unemployment. That is considered an unjust firing. or basically they just wanted you gone and couldnt come up with any other better reason. Thinking back to when I was let go from dss, I probably should have applied for unemployment because they let me go because they wouldnt extend my FMLA and I needed more time to take care of my mom. I dont know if I would have got it for that but who knows. They tried to write me up for some pitiful reason and I refused to sign the write up and they fired me on the spot. The write up reason was not in the handbook though so they couldnt fall back on that one. I still think you fight the unemployment as high up as you can take it and eventually they will cave.
