Wrongful termination

[justalayman]

No last week. A few days ago I informed corporate. I went and checked my mail today and found out that they sent me notices that I was sent direct deposits. so I logged in with my access number and saw everything was working again. I have been in contact with the union Stewart For a few days now. I wasn't sure how much the union could even do for me. I simply asked questions here because I was hoping to get in touch with someone who might know the Nevada employment laws quite well.

I want to make clear that my access number was reinstated without the company knowing I even went to the union. They will find out that the union is involved when the union steward places the call to HR on my behalf .

Edited:
Interesting. I just pulled out a copy of my offer letter. My offer letter specifically says that my "employment is subject to the terms of a collective bargaining agreement." But I thought that only took into effect after the probationary period? I was always told until you finished the probationary term that you aren't part of the collective-bargaining agreement? I am just as confused as everyone else

so you have mail delivery on Sunday?

If the union is required to represent you a lawyer is not going to do anything for
You. You are most likely obligated to follow the steps within the CBA before going outside
The union.

But if they reinstate you, you have no legal action available anyway.

And it's STEWARD, with a D.

I check my mail every couple of days. No clue to the exact date it was delivered. Is the exact date it was delivered something I should note and use in my case? the direct deposit was made 5 days after I was terminated. Today I logged on and found my access number working. That could all change though.

First, nothing you have stated supports a wrongful termination case. Obviously nobody here has all the information needed to make a dependable determination so don't make your decisions based on what some folks on an Internet forum say. Persue your windmill, I mean case if you believe you have a case.


Second, if the activity you state is true, it appears your termination may have been rescinded. That would mean even if there was a cause of action for wrongful termination, it's now moot since you are now not terminated.

I suspect the union steward has taken actions you are not aware of. If you have been talking to him for several days, he should have begun his inquiries a couple days ago.

What is a windmill? does my thread offend you? I'm not sure if it's rescinded. I'd imagine that they would have called to say I am on the schedule if that were the case. The manager who terminated me said I was termed yesterday when we talkedbut who knows? He also said I was an at will and according to my offer letter, that isn't true. I think my company is as confused as I am. Also the union has not taken action because the union steward has asked me to keep the fact that they are going to help a secret until they make contact with the company. why? I have no clue. Until today, I had no idea that I was even under a collective bargaining agreement. I thought I had to be past the introductory period for that to happen.

Some of your posts are offensive, yes. And if your behaviour here with the expert volunteers is anything like your behaviour with your former senior coworkers, I can see why some of them would refuse to work with you.

Nothing you describe is illegal behavior. Unpleasant, yes, and I'm glad to hear that your corporate office didn't like it. If you've gotten your job back, so much the better. Of course, if that is the case, it means you have no grounds whatsoever on which to sue.

But even if you haven't, unless you have a contract or CBA that expressly states the reasons you can be terminated AND THIS TERMINATION VIOLATES THAT, then you still don't have a wrongful term claim in Nevada or anywhere else. Firing you over complaining about certain kinds of behavior can be illegal, but what you have posted is NOT in that range.

I'm feeling blunt today...

You are coming across as a know-it-all smart-aleck passive-aggressive pain-in-the-butt. I'm sure word of your attitude and actions got up the line to somebody who said "dump this probationary employee before probation ends."

You forgot passive-aggressive.

I wasn't intentionally rude to you but if you feel I should bow down to you or I offended you then that's a personal issue. I'm indifferent either way. Being that this is the Internet and I don't have to deal with you, I'm not responding to you anymore. If the responses your going to give are like the unpleasant ones you've given thus far, I'd benefit more if you didn't reply to my posts either. Enjoy your week

I am amused when people feel the need to respond when they don't like a post simply to say they're not going to respond.

Thank you. I don't know if I have my job back or not but I hope so. Since I'm not at will I guess it changes a lot of things for me. however, I was wondering if you know of instances when the covenant of good faith would Have been violated and therefore Could be used as a defense for an at will employee?

I am amused when people think an Internet forum is an actual social clique and thinks others will actually care if someone doesn't want to be their internet friend. I'm personally just here for information and to learn. I try to be nice to everyone but if someone who is rude to me doesn't like me, I won't lose sleep

Why do you think you're not an "at will" employee?
Furthermore, you were a probationary employee.
What is a "covenant of good faith" and how do you think it applies in this situation?
