What is the name of your state? Minnesota
I was employed by a Technical College for over 6 years and was laid off in January. The reasons I was given for this layoff was that there was declining student enrollment and thus lacking funds to keep me employed. It has now been just over a month since I was let go and I’m told that they are bringing someone in to replace me in that department. The catch to it is that this person they are bringing in is under the heading of a contractor although he will be working 40 hours per week. This seems like a slick way to get rid of me and I was wondering if I have any legal options in light of this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
