[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 604547, member: 1550"] Hi again. If I do it, I'll just do the motions myself, knowing I"ll lose. However, maybe they'll be careful next time and realize some people will fight for their rights. My ex-co-workers are all at least going to get a phone call or a letter. I certainly can't afford to subpena them, but none of them will say anything bad about me. None of them except that batty bus driver ever did. And it was all about my disability. It was constantly thrown in my face that I was "high strung." I wasn't really, not at the job. And never once was I rude to a parent or unkind to a child. I am wondering what my ex-co-workers are going to do. My guess is just not answer anything because they fear the Head Start management with good reason. It is perfectly easy to get rid of somebody who blew the whistle without getting into trouble for firing the whistle blower (which is illiegal IF the person is fired for blowing the whistle on a company's illegal policy). Since in Wisconsin, as in most states, a corporation can fire anyone and doesn't even have to have a reason, all the company needs to do is make up some bogus OTHER reason why the person was fired and, unless it is due to discrimination, the fired employee can't do anything about it. What a screwed up country we live in. In no other free country can an employer fire you just because he had a fight with his wife that morning, is in a bad mood, sees you first and decides to make you have a bad day too. I have been told by lawyers of employment that, at least in Illinois and Wisconsin, you can be fired for no reason at all and that you it isn't illegal not to tell you why you were fired. And it is legal for them to do so. And there is NO recourse. The exception is if you are in a union which Walker and co. have done a good job of eliminating in many states. Soon the worker will lose even minimum wage, but that's off topic. [/QUOTE]
