thanks for this I was wondering what happen to Dennis I went to that school and I was the only black kid in my grave since 4th to 12th and I can tell u Dennis was 1 of 5 teachers I ever liked. He's what held me down. The real ones know what Dennis was for Churchill an anomaly truly.
Hello Mark, I'm a 13 year veteran employee, Latin female over 40, working for a major federal contractor. All of my reviews have been excellent until last Wednesday. Over the last several years I reported workplace violence, then harassment, and now it's a hostile work environment. I recently returned from LOA and disclosed PTSD to my manager and also disclosed that I don't feel safe. I believe I'm about to terminated on Monday. This comes as a surprise so I don't yet have a lawyer. I have plenty documented evidence and witnesses. I read that I should send a letter to memorialize the disclosure immediately before they terminate me. If that's correct, what should (or shouldn't) I communicate to mgmt, Ethics Officer, and HR in the email before reporting to work Monday? Can you please help point me in the right direction?
I was trying to hear the email address but it was too fast! Kindly see my affidavit draft and receipts. I am facing whistleblower retaliation, disability retaliation, failure to accommodate, mental health issues, safety concerns, possible wage theft and wrongful termination. Sadly, I cannot find an atty (CA) to take my case because it is a small non-profit. I’ve already filed with CRD, but no appt until 8/26. ,
I just listened to your podcast for the first time. I am an employment lawyer for 30 years in the Hudson Valley of New York. The episode I listened to was about the nurses who were indentured servants, and brought a class action. It was excellent. Great job telling a compelling story and presenting it in a way that is easy to understand. I look forward to hearing your other episodes. Thank you for this podcast. All the best, Laura Wong-Pan
Mark, I am a good friend of Frostie and have been helping her with her case. Thank you for the excellent breakdown of Muldrow v. City of St. Louis and constructive discharge. As a pro se plaintiff, she is learning the case law as she goes, and your clear explanation gives us additional confidence. Five stars — keep up the great work helping employees!
