What is the name of your state? VT
It has recently come to my attention that I was terminated for discussing with other employees how they might pursue a case with the state labor board for our chronically late wages. This action on my part came to my employers attention, and he chose to terminate me as soon as he became aware of it.
My (informal) reviews had been exemplary, and as recently as one week before the employer had asked me to stay on longer (I had accepted another position when I was terminated).
Could this be considered retaliation? At the time of my term., I had not yet filed a case with the state, but I was discussing how to pursue our legal rights with another employee. I have written communication supporting these allegations. Should I discuss this matter with an attorney, or am I p*&@ing in the wind?
Thanks.
