What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Virginia
I work for a large east coast trucking company. I load and unload the freight from the trucks. A couple weeks ago I was suspended without pay indefinitely for stealing 3 mini motor scooters. My friend who works with me was also suspended. Neither I nor my friend stole them but we were suspended "pending investigation". After a week and a half of calling them and never getting any real answers about an "investigation", my boss calls and tells me to come in, they're gonna put me back to work but they need to talk to me first. I show up expecting an apology, maybe an offer of back pay but I get..."We dont have any proof that you stole the scooters but we pulled your record and you were late alot over the past year so consider this your warning. We're writing you up for being late and if you're even 1 minute late or miss a day for any reason you're fired." No back pay, no apology, just me getting crapped on again. After a week and a half of no pay they have seriously damaged my families financial situation as well as my reputation. Now work is unbearable. Everyone keeps coming up to me and asking how much I got for the scooters, I am terrified to even flinch for fear of being fired. How is this legal? Anyone think I should persue a case?
Thanks!
