Hey guys...im Jeremy from Louisiana
I have to write a letter to the workforce for my unemployment...I was seeing if someone could give me a review on it. I posted the incident in the forum a couple of weeks ago. Heres my letter on what happened. Any advice is helpful.
i changed the names also...and its just a draft guys
To whom in may concern,
My name is Jeremy Robinson. I have recently filed an unemployment claim, for being discharged from my work. I received a letter today, Novemeber 25, 2009, stating there is a possible issue on my claim about separation from employment or availability. I prepared this letter today, to state the facts on my side of the claim.
I was approached by way of telephone, 11-13-2009, by bb(owner), asking me to present myself at ExamOne for a urine analysis, which i did. On Monday, 11-16-2009, I showed up for work and was met by bb. bb then informed me that there was allegations that I had been using "dope" on the job. I denied every allegation, and was sent home pending the urine analysis test results. That evening I conacted bb, and at that time was informed that I passed the urine analysis. I was accused of "taking some pills to alter the test results", by bb. bb then requested I take a blood test. I informed him I have a phobia of needles, and that I have no reason to keep defending myself against slander. He told me in order to keep my job, I have to pass the blood test. I showed up at ExamOne on 11-17-2009 to give a blood sample. When the lady pulled out the needle i started getting really dizzy, and informed her I couldn't let her put a needle in my arm. I called bb and let him know that because of my phboia of needles, I couldn't let her do the bloodwork. He fired me.
I've worked at this company since Q4 2007. When i was hired in, I never signed a company drug/alcohol policy. There is no company drug/alcohol policy. I was fired for not taking a blood test, that would of put me in immediate medical danger. Because of my phobia, I pass out when a needle is put in me. I passed the urine analysis, and since the detection times for narcotics is far lesser in blood than in urine, a blood test would of proved nothing. When I proved that the allegations were untrue and unjust, they tried to invade my privacy by requesting a blood test. I've been fired in a tough economic time, and now that my good clean name has been tarnished, its that much harder to find a decent job. I have no history of drug usage.
