Labor Lawyers Advice?

I also agree a union can help in situations like this. Unfortunately being a right to work state really hurts. They are talking about that here in Ohio. She should contact her clients and put aps in with them. She will land on her feet. Has she applied for unemployment? The employer can say no but, they would have to give a reason. Then when they give some lame as reason you might have something to take to an attorney. Isn't amazing how the church people ended up screwing someone life up? Good luck Rev.

Rev -- I feel for you and anyone who gets let go like this.

As an owner of a company that has a union labor force the opposite holds true for us. We have (2) employees that are USELESS!!! I mean they produce 50-60% less than everyone else on the crew in an 8 hr shift and yet the union won't let us get rid of them. The union has even evaluated their performance and productivity and told us even though they see it too they are protected. So in the real world it really goes both ways and unions are actually just as bad as right to work states. Their needs to be a happy medium between performance based pay and workers rights.

As for fighting it... honestly it will end up costing you time, money, and aggravation that in the end you will have nothing or very little once the lawyers take their cut to show for your fight.

Good luck with it, when the dust settles you'll come through it just fine.
