What is the name of your state?Texas
Yes I know I am in a " right to work state" but I was just wondering about my situation:
I have been working for this company for the past 17 years, I am 65 years old, about ready to retire.
This past February I had to have surgery performed, ( stints in my main artery in my right leg) Then after I healed from that surgery I had to have 3 stints in the main artery in my abdomin.
I was just released from the hospital yesterday on 8/24/05.
I am on short term disability, I received a letter from my employer 8/21/05 that I had been terminated because I was absent from work for 6 months.
I am 65 years old, facing many debts due to the 2 surgeries and I still need surgery on my left leg. As a result of the dismissal I will not have insurance to cover the next surgery.
Is this legal? Do I have any recourse?
Any help would be wonderful
