i work at a sugar plant as a benchchemist for 21 years they have passed me over to get a better job for 20 years, this year the boss told me he didnt know i hadnt been trained for the shift chemist job,so he said he would train me for 6 days and when the shift chemist called in i would be used as a back up. they trained me for 6 days and theyused me for l whole 8 hour shift and a four hour shift when someone called in , so that means when they pay you that pay you are trained, I have a check stub for the l2 hours at that pay (shift chemist). The lab supervisor even called me at home and said i would be a back up. The shift chemist called in one week and they overlooked me again. So i took a union shop steward with me and went to the supervisor and i asked him didnt you tell me i was going to be a back up when the shift chemist called in ,he said no i didnt , i said then your renigging on what you said, you are not a gentleman, he threw up his hands and his face turned red and he said this meeting is over. The next day they told me to come in a little early and i was fired. They will not even okay my unemployment. i feel it is age discrimination and they said i was too slow, but yet they paid me to work when they couldnt get no one else. After 21 years of working is this really fair.
