Do I have a legal case against my employer?

If what you refer to as a "contract" actually *is* a contract then the employee would appear to have a case. However, it is fairly common practice for such employer guidelines or procedures to contain a weasel clause that says something like "Nothing in this document shall be construed as affecting the 'at will' nature of the employment." In other words... "These are our procedures, but we don't have to follow them."

I'd advise you to take the contract to a labor law attorney in your State. Richard.

Only if it's in Montana. All other 49 states are "at will" states, and they can fire at any time and for any reason at all (or even for NO reason).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
