What is Wrongful Termination?
Wrongful termination commonly occurs when an employee is terminated from his or her position as a form of retaliation by their employer. This usually done where an employee has filed a complaint regarding their employers' wrongdoing in the workplace, such as:
-
Discrimination involving age, gender, race or disability
-
Substandard working conditions, including OSHA violations
-
Unreasonable performance standards
-
Violations of public policy, including free speech and First Amendment issues
-
Mishandling of medical issues and time off
-
Violations of military leave and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
Wrongful termination is not limited to dismissal. Sometimes, employers try to bully employees into quitting by making working conditions intolerable, a situation known as constructive discharge. In other circumstances, employers attempt to intimidate employees by firing anyone who dares to speak up about unfair conditions.
A Representative Case
An instructor at a Catholic school refused to have her second-grade students write letters to President Bush the day after he announced we were invading Iraq. The school said our client quit, while our client claimed she was terminated for standing up for the rights of her students and their parents. We filed a suit for wrongful termination, and the case settled to the parties mutual satisfaction.*
