What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I was employed as a Plant Operation Manager and held the position for 3 yrs. The employees have had several accidents in the past 6 mos. I was not present at any of these accidents and had no control over the situations. My company's corporate employee came to our plant and terminated me because of these accidents. I was not given any previous warnings or any consultations. I also was not given anything in writing on my termination. I believe I was terminated because the company is suffering financial problems and I was the second-highest paid employee. My employment record is clean, with no write-ups whatsoever. I am seeking, at the very least, to keep this termination off my record and possibly getting some sort of severance pay. I have many other points to bring up in this situation, which involves safety issues that I have tried to get changed in the plant, and the company did not want to spend the money. Do I have any legal rights in this matter. I appreciate any help and direction that you could give. I have a family to support. Thank you.
