If you reeeally need this job, I'd go to the Labor Board. It sounds like A$Shole wanted to find a reason to get rid of you.  You might come out on top in this one, but even so, will your employers make your job a living hell by always looking for legal ways to fire you again and again? Just think it over.  "Choose your battles" was some of the best advice I ever got.

Talk to a lawyer. Most likely, to properly sue the company, you will have to serve the Resident Agent. If you serve anyone else, the case will likely be thrown out.

open your phone book go to labor relations if ya can't find that, talk to the employer  (BE NICE) and then if no luck go to small claims court you don't need an attorney and the cost is about $45. to file be sure to sue for court cost too so ya can recover your filling fee and cost of copies of paper work or whatever. You must have proof of all that you are going after though. Good luck

cover your a$$, cya, CYA.  If you can keep your contact with her to a minimum then by all means, do so.  Make sure that you cover all your bases when you are at the old jobsite.  See if someone else at your old company could be your point of contact.  If her complaints are general, then maybe you could talk to her supervisor and see if something could be resolved that way. If there is already a record of a problem between the two of you, then your old company should be able to restrict her from harassing you further. \n    Good luck to you.

call any lawyer in the phone book.  Most could handle the job.  Yes, you have a right to sue.  You might want to check into the process of "small claims court".  I don't believe you'll need a lawyer then -- it's a more relaxed court (you just tell your side of the story to the judge).

Go to the CAB and/or look in phone book for a local Law Centre (free lawyers - if one of them is qualified in employment law they will take on your case if then think it has merit.) Your employer is liable for the actions of its employees\n\nMeanwhile, take detailed notes of the bullying: when, what, who, why. Find out what your workplace grievance procedure is (you have to go through this before you can bring a claim if thats what you end up doing). Also if you have a trade union, speak to them first. Good luck.

You probably are a horrible employee, so no.\n\nYou can't sue an employer for your own incompetence.

Actually in the US it isn't illegal to give a bad reference although most companies steer away from it due to fear of lawsuits.  I have worked for one company that will disclose all negative, as well as positive information they have in their HR file and staff that have sued as a result.  The former employees that I know that sued did not win their suit as both types of infomation was given and some other legalities I am not aware of.  Can you sue?  Absolutely.  Will you win is another question.  And what's the point of suing if you cannot win.  Usually HR departments will only state title, dates of employment and salary confirmation though.  I suggest calling your old boss and trying to find out what he has against you.  Perhaps all was not right when yu left or maybe he has a personal grudge.  If you did something that left him upset, apologise or explain your point of view.  Ask him if there is a problem in using him for a reference,  If there is, don't use him.  It sounds like you have other references at that same job that will be better anyway so you may not need him.  As for losing the other job, I guess you could explain any problems with your old boss and take responsibility for whatever is yours to take responsibility for but I honestly don't know if it would help much.  Keep looking.  There are other good jons out there and now that you know there is a problem you can rectify it.  Good luck!

What you need to do is document it, keep a record.   I would file a complaint with the labor board.

If this had been a contract with the company, then you could have sued for breach of contract and they would no doubt have been glad to settle out of court.  The problem is, you were subcontracted and your agency was the employer. Just put it down to experience.  It won't show up on your cv and you wouldn't want to work for such horrible people anyway.

call a lawyer and explain the situation with proof..I'm sure you can sue them !

Technically you would be in breach of contract however as nothing in writing there is very little employer could do. Employer would have to prove they had suffered financial loss and wouldn't really be worth the effort to contest

Do not bring it up unless asked.\n\nYour former employer BY LAW is only allowed to verify the dates of employment, position and compensation....that is LAW.\n\nHowever....some employers will take liberties and attempt to blacken your name.\n\nHave a friend call your former employer under the guise of a hiring manager for XYZ company...and have them ask about your employment etc. You will then have a heads up on the type of answer/reference your former boss is handing out to the people calling in. It is better to know up front than not at all...\n\nBest of Luck.\nBTW...take the lesson learned from your experience and avoid making the same mistake at your next place of employment.
