What is the name of your state? Virginia
My mother was fired in May from a Psychiatric office by her manager. The manager claimed my mother reveled confidential patient information. This is untrue, but it is my mother's word against her manager's. Her former manager is not the nicest person either. The long and short of this is that my mother has been unable to collect unemployment. (My mother had wored there for 4 years--longer than the manager, and has worked in the medical receptionist field for about 10 years). Mother did try appealing the decision of the VEC unsuccessfully (she did not have a lawyer). Also--mother has heard from some of her friends still in the medical profession that her former manager is telling other hospitals not to hire her (mother still is unemployed at this writing). Of course, this is hearsay---although their might be proof. What should she do?
Thanks
