You will need to consult with the labor & employee laws for your state and/or city.

You will want to consult www.findlaw.com.  It will ask you your location and the area of law (civil rights). You will probably have to pay something up front, but many lawyers will set up a reasonable payment plan if they decide to take your case. Please do not think that you will find a lawyer to represent you on a contingency basis ("If you don't win, you don't owe us a dime."). Those arrangements are reservced for "slam-dunk" cases where the extent and type of damage done to you by the defendant practically guarantees you a large financial recovery.  Most discrimination cases are not of this type, so you will likely have to pay something.  Good luck to you.

Strictly speaking, anybody can be sued for anything.  Whether the suit gets anywhere is another question.  You should probably consult an attorney to see what your liability, if any, might be.

The general circumstance does not sound legal.  I would go to court and dispute the way this was handled.  By the way, what is an "OWI"?

Nothing. You can not sue them it really wasn't discrimination. You were either over qualified or under qualified..It happens.

They can, but you can sue the hell out of them for wrongful termination, and an unsafe work envirnment, pain and suffering... the list goes on.

You have the right to get fired, moved sideways or downsized. Treating a building for mould probably isn't cheap. Watch your back.

Yes you have a lawsuit. Don't accept any workers compensation checks or you will lose your rights. Get a lawer now.

yes.. but prepare a lawsuit

IF you are absolutely positive no activity of this kind is true, and you have evidence that will support your arguement, you may have a case.  Where you part if a union?  If not, then do you work in an at-will employment state?  IF yes, then there is nothing you can do, except possibly obtain unemployment.  \n\nHowever, you may bring a libel suit against the former co-worker.\n\nGood luck.

The question still isn't easy to answer. Your best bet would be to contact a local attorney, or take the advise of the previous responder.\n\nBut the truth is, this is a free country and they can't make you do anything. The answer might be, however, do you want to continue to work for them and receive a paycheck?

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).

Can they?\n\nSure.\n\nCan you sue over it?  Well, you could try, but I really really doubt\nyou would get anywhere.  You would have to prove monetary\ndamages.\n\nYou could probably argue that the company's by-laws and\npolicies form an implied part of your employment contract,\nbut companies change these policies all the time and I have\nyet to see any employee successfully litigate just because\nthe policies weren't the ones he signed up with.\n\nYou would have to prove that you had take action (or hadn't\ndone something you would ordinarily have done) based on\nthe company's policies and that the modification of those\npolicies demonstrably hurts you.\n\nIf you think that they have somehow reduced a benefit, you\nwould have to prove that you could/would have taken another\njob which would not have better benefits.\n\nBy the time all is said and done, you'll have spent more money\nthen you'd recoup.

Yes, but this is an up hill battle. The laws are not really in your favor. \n\nHave your attorney file a "stay judgment order" which should give you time to mount an appeal. There are nonprofit organizations out there to help you, do some searching for pro bono housing council.

Your have the option to negotiate for fair compensation, and your only alternative is to sue ...  but you have two problems with that.  \n\nThere is a limit on what a mediator or Judge is going to believe when it comes to your claim of "invaluable" as the items were in a storage shed.  The second hurdle would be that the "invaluable" items were not insured. It comes down to a matter of credibility, and "invaluable" along with "storage shed" and "uninsured" don't really mix well.\n\nNegotiate for a fair value of the items with management.

That would be a verbal contract. If you have any receipts for you expenses or labor that would prove you did work for the guy, you can take him to small claims court. A witness or two with no personal interest in your side of the case would be nice to. You could chance bringing it to small claims court and just hope he is honest enough to own up to it. But chances are slim on that. If you have any phone messages from him acknowledging any thing to do with the work, that would help a lot.

Yes you can sue pursuant to 42 U.S.C. (United States Code)Section 1983. "Section 1983 authorizes a court to grant relief when a party's federally protected rights have been violated by a state or local official or other person who acted under the color of law."\n\nGet yourself an attorney that handles this type of case. You can contact your local bar association for attorney information, as well as, their contact information.\n\nGood Luck!
