wronglyfully terminated in VA (Employment & Labor Law)

Sat, 29 Oct 2005 09:10:00 GMT

I was working at my job, under Drs. supervision still on light duty from an injury
to my right shoulder which required surgery. While recovering my plant manager
called my Dr. twice to get my return back to work speeded up. I returned back
to work on a light duty slip per my Drs. order. I continued with my course of
physical therapy and when the Dr. said it was ok to increase my duties, although
still on light duty, I was informed that I was no longer able to do my present job
in customer service because of complaints against me, although no evidence
could support this. I was told if I wanted to continue working at this company
I had to accept this change. I explained because of my medical situation it would be difficult for me but management said I had to accept the change or lose my job. I was in no position to lose my job because my significant other had
just had a liver transplant and I was just recovering from rotator cuff surgery.
So in fear of losing my source of income during very difficult times I accepted the change of jobs. During all of this I continued seeing my Dr. and started
working at the new job under protest but worried that I'd lose my income.
During this time I preformed my job with no complaints and plenty of praise from my fellow workers. I came to work on a Monday and was informed by the
plant manager that my vehicle was not being properly maintained. I had to this date never been informed or reprimanded of any such infractions. The
plant manager said I was to take 3 days off and return on Friday. I returned
Friday morning and was informed that he was firing me due to lack of maintenance to my vehicle that was low 1/2 quart low on oil and water.
