"At Will", Wait for Unions investigation or...

[happyall]

I belong to a State where "At Will" employee is imposed. If our handbook doesn'T mention the Word "At Will", will the rules and regulations that govern "At Will" employment effective?
I got terminated for something I did not do. My union is grieving my case now. I am planning to sue my employer,. Now I don't know what is the best thing to do, to finish my Unions investigation or to get my lawyer now. If I sue now what effect will their be to my unions investigation.

Most states adhere to "at will" status. This remains employment status regardless of what your handbook says, or doesn't say. However, this does not in any way prevent litigation. Any pending litigation should not affect your union's investigation.
