What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
I worked for a company that had a recent company move/take over and all of our "high up jobs" were replaced by these newcomers. In November 2015 I was terminated. I now work for a company where those individuals use to work for. I received a letter from my previous employer whom I have not been employed with in over two months stating.. " It has come to our attention that you continue to bad mouth our company. If you continue to Slander, ect ect our company's name. We will be foreced to take legal action and if you do not know these law I sugguest you look them up. Now... i have not said a work in my new company or anywhere else about my previous employer... Now here's the question(s) Are they legally able to sue me over accusations they know nothing about NOR have proof of? Second, are there any forms of retaliation that I can take on this company for harrasing and threatening me?
Thank you for your help.
