Video or audio taping of a person without their knowledge or consent can be "wiretapping," and it is illegal in most states. The issue is are there any warning signs at the workplace that advise you there is taping or are security cameras in place? If so, you have been provided warning.... View More
Massachusetts has MGL that defines Protected Concerted Activity for Public Employees, but there is no mention of private sector employees. Are there laws that protect private sector employees in Massachusetts? Or is the only private sector protection at the Federal level(NLRB)?
answered on Jul 10, 2023
Usually this type of law addresses protection from GOVERNMENT ACTION based on assertion of constitutional rights, or it could be UNION action. (NLRB) If you are a public sector employee, your employer is the government, which is why they have these laws. For private sector employees, the employer... View More

I went to my Union Rep and complained about my Supervisor. My Supervisor ended up finding out and canceled my overtime that he specifically said I could work. Is this retaliation?
answered on Jul 10, 2023
Sometimes this makes you wonder who your Union is representing, doesn't it. Unfortunately, since you are represented by a Union, they are your exclusive representatives under the NLRA. You could file an unfair practices claim with them, or file a grievance with your union over the OT.... View More

Does the CUIAB automatically backdate a reversed Pua claim denial?
answered on Jul 9, 2023
Congratulations. I suggest that you go to PUA.GOV to find out the answers to your question, or contact the CUIAB, or EDD to find out the answers from the horse's mouth, so to speak. Unlikely it is prospective from the date of the appellate decision. Thank you for using Justia ask a lawyer.

This is awful. You need to contact the utility immediately to have service restored in your own name. Deduct from rent what you must pay. Your landlord is prohibited from doing this to force you out, it is in a statute, I believe Civil Code 1941.6, or close to it. You need to retain an attorney... View More

When suing in a small claims court and a civil court, if I, the plaintiff, can prove that the defendant has committed a perjury, which party can hold the defendant responsible? Who can sue the defendant for perjury? The District Attorney? The court? Or me, the plaintiff?

I agree with Mr. Kane, that YOU cannot recover damages when someone perjures himself in court, however, perjury is a crime and could be investigated by the District Attorney or Attorney General. IMO, it won't be. These offices are overwhelmed with cases and investigating an alleged perjury... View More
