What is the name of your state?Oregon
Hi all,
I am a machinist who works on a piece work basis. I have never signed anything regarding my liability for late work, incomplete jobs or even scrap parts. I was recently terminated after a purchase order I was working on was late. The purchase order was late as a result of machine failure. (in dispute) The last repair date on the machine was past the original due date. (provable) The customer granted the machining company an extension of time for the job completion. (provable) My letter of termination stated I have a bad attitude and am lazy, they said so with shiny words tho. (certainly not). (in dispute). At the time of my termination I had completed more than 50% of the job. (disputed) (at least 1 witness to the state of the parts on 11/02). I have responded to the letter of termination by laying out the facts I can prove and invoicing the machining company for 1/2 the original purchase order cost.
IS THE PURCHASE ORDER CONSIDERED A CONTRACT?
DO I HAVE A CASE?
IF SO IS IT A WRONGFUL TERMINATION OR BREACH OF CONTRACT?
TIA
