Pennsylvania
Hello:
I am in quite a fix and could use some advice.
Yesterday, I started a temporary assignment through a
temp agency. I worked a full eight hour day and it
was uneventful (or so I thought).
Upon returning home last evening, I received a call
from a representative of the temp agency. She said
that I was not to return to the assignment. I asked
her for the reason, and she told me that it was
because I smelled of alcohol.
I thought this was quite strange since I haven't had a
drink (of any alcoholic beverage) since I was at a
wedding in August. Upon further questioning, I was
told that one of the empty bottles of Deer Park water
I threw in the trash can smelled of alcohol.
Does anyone out there know if impurities in the water
or in the plastic bottle could make the bottle smell
from alcohol? I spoke to the agency head this
morning. She told me that there will be forensic
testing done on the bottle in the next week or so.
I have some issues with this (chain of custody,
tampering after I put it in the trash, etc.). Also, I offered
to submit myself to any type of forensic testing requested
by the agency.
What I would like to ask of you all is this: Do I
have a leg to stand on WRT wrongful termination and a
possible suit against the agency (and possibly their
client as well)?
Thank you in advance as this is a most trying
situation.
