I was hired on to AT&T on June 14th, 2013. In January I got injured and after two months of disability, my bosses basically found a way to get rid of me. This is not my complaint, just a small background.
Officially, I turned in my badge, truck keys, iPad and iPhone on May 15th, 2014, and was actually escorted off the garage premises because I was no longer an AT&T employee. My hearing the union set up failed as well.
According to the Union, my official day of termination was June 2nd, 2014. Today is June 20th and I am still waiting on unemployment, which has already been approved. However, AT&T is still claiming me as a full time employee. Because of this, I cannot get unemployment, nor can I get hired on to another job. I just recently got asked to join another large company but when they called AT&T, the HR rep said I was still working, so I lost that opportunity.
I am now heavily in debt to my bank, who is charging me overdraft fees like crazy. I will probably lose my apartment, my cell phone, etc. In the next few weeks because I cannot pay anything. I have to visit my parents just to eat, and I'm 27 years old. My girlfriend of 5 years is having more arguments with me due to stress. My life is falling apart and AT&T isn't even letting me work at another employer while they bury me.
What do I need to do to file a case, if I have one?
