I worked in the shipping department of a Minnesota plant of a national manufacturing company. In January, 2001, I was pulled into an office by a person who was not my supervisor. This happened about 2 pm. This person was brought in from another plant to be a change agent on the production side. He worked closely and reported to my supervisor's manager. He was upset because I had not responded to an email which was sent to me at 10 am and had asked that I respond some time that day. He told me to start doing my job, he would walk me out the F@^#ing door himself. I had asked him to stop with the swear words and he refused. I also asked him for a chance to defend myself and he refused this also. Our business with this customer was in jeopardy due to production promises that were not fullfilled. I sent an email to the company president, HR, the account manager, my supervisor and her manager. Needless to say, I was upset all weekend and I was still too upset to work the next Monday. The only acknowledgement I received of this situation was an apology from my supervisor's manager.

A week later, I was laid-off, due to "down-sizing". Three months later, my old position is being advertised at our local workforce center. I still talk with my co-workers and I know this is "my" position. Would this be wrongful termination since the position is still active?

Thanks!
