Hello,
I was terminated about 2 months ago for a bogus reason. I am collecting unemployment while i'm searching for employment. My concern is this... my old boss is giving me bad references when new companies I am applying to call to verify employment. Are they allowed to give negative references or are they only allowed to verify the dates of employment and wages? I need help with this because I've never had a problem getting a job before. If this is against the law, which I believe it is, I need to know what I can do about it. Seems that if someone gives negative references and that company doesn't hire you, they are taking away your right to work and survive. I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Michelle
