What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Iowa
I have worked with this company for over 5 years now. I started out as a home worker and then 2 years ago met membership requirements and was voted in by the committee to become a member (company is member owned). We worked there for 2 years as memebers. The first year they lost a lot of money and I had to pay back to the company over 1 thousand dollars which I did. This year 4 new people have met membership requirements and were approved by the board in January. I was informed shortly there after we were not longer employed by the company and to return all of our supplies.
As I said the company is member owned which are all employees. The board is made up of workers voted in by the members and consisits of a group of friends/drinking buddies of the person that decides who does & does not work for the company (manager). There is no one at the job I can go to and appeal to as the board does what the manager wants.
Its like the sopranos or something when you are not friends with or drinking buddies of the bossman you are eliminated.
Is this legal? Do I have any recourse? I asked why I was fired and was told the manager chooses who they want to work with and no longer wants to work with us. Reality is her mom made membership and her friends brother made membership as well as her drinking buddy and another employee in the factory.
Please help this is 2/3 of my income and I can't survive without it.
