Hi Lisa,
I want to add one more thing, the pain and suffering $ I recieved, was for the illegal things they said to me. Document the conversations, before you forget them, it may take awhile.The union did nothing for me in my case!!! If there is a union invoved, they may back up the store, don't let them bully you. Travis can get unemployment right this second. They will be so sorry, there are laws protecting Travis, this is total descrimination- by their own words. My story is, I had breast cancer, they didn't want to pay benefits for me, so 3 days after my benefits kicked in, I was told (screamed at until I cried)- that I was fired for not telling them of any past medical conditions I had, plus now they were changing my job description, and THEY said, I couldn't do it. The union backed up the store. Then I got a lawyer got involved-I found one out of the phone book-look under employment law-and by the way they all lied during the depositions, so what- I did have breast cancer- I was never written up, late, and could do every job in the dept.-that was my proof. Had I not gotten a job right away, I would have also gotten back pay.-Alyssa
