No Hugging! You're Fired
What is the name of your state? CA
I (male) was recently fired from a construction company for sexual harassment for giving a fellow male employee a non-sexual "coaches" hug, the kind a coach gives a player or you might give a friend when you're getting your picture taken. When I applied for UI the bosses accountant/lover/recent bar-exam passer fought me tooth and nail. She initially told the UI department I broke the zero tolerance policy. I told my story. Ms. Accountant fired back with a list of 10 other incidence that occured in the prior months all of which were false. I told the UI they were all lies. The employer was unable to document anything. I now receive UI. But, being a school teacher I have found that I am unable to get any interviews because they ask me if and why I was fired from any jobs. Can I sue for wrongful termination and slander and anything else. N.B. The employer and I had a one year verbal contract which he broke after 4 months.
