What is the name of your state? VA
I know a lot of slander and libel information has been covered. However; I have some questions that I have not found answers to.
I have a girlfriend who works at a fast food restaurant owned locally. Her managered pried in to my personal business and asked her if I was working and I was employeed with a guy doing construction work but I was off a lot lately because he had of lack of work. He told me that I was going to start back on monday working a full schedule. My girlfriend told her this. The manager told me she could offer me a part-time job at nights because I could not work the same shift as my girlfriend. I didn't really care because I was going to be getting more than part-time hours doing counstruction work. I may have took the job if it was full-time though to make sure I had a steady job. I also would have took the part-time job if I could work it around my scheldule with construcion work. I told her I wouldn't be able to come in on second shift at 2 or 3 because of my other job that I'd be better off staying at. She said ok.
The next couple of days she hires a guy for day-shift working on the same shift as his girlfriend that was already employed there. She told me she couldn't do that for me.
When asked by other employees why she didn't hire me she told them that I told her that 4 o-clock was too early to get up in the morning. That was untrue because she never even offered me a day-shift job. She told me I couldn't work day-shift because my girlfriend worked that shift. She also told people there that I don't want to work and called my girlfriends grandmother and told her the same thing. This can be hurtfull to ones reputation especially if it isn't true and it isn't. I have witnesses that know what I said and what she said.
I contacted the store owners the first time I found out whe was making false statements about me. It happened since then because nothing was done about it.
She is still working there as a manager and the owner told me she has been repremanded for her actions but I was told he never even came down to investigate it. Also about two minutes later on the phone I got ill and he said that she wasn't running her mouth about me. That tells me right there that he lied when he said she was repremanded.
Ok, so my question is should I sue for slander since she defamated my character and who do I go after her or the owners because it happened at the restaurant while she was working? How much I should try to sue for if I do? Sorry for this being lengthy.
