Q: Are there laws in place that allow me to sue people trying to get me fired if I have evidence?
I'm a General Manager at a well regarded hotel and am currently engaged in a dispute with the Union that represents my employees due to a series of events that were taken out of context. An employee of mine quit for a better job in Boston before eventually coming back. In that time of her absence however, the Union has charged me with firing without cause and is taking me to court over the issue, using it to leverage for new management and more safeguards. I did my own investigation as to why the Union would attack me and the management team and have found that a (now-former) friend who runs another hotel, the former General Manager of my hotel and an employee within my hotel encouraged the Union to take me to court and encouraged the employee who came back to quit in the first place. Can I take these people to court or at least dismiss the Union suit if I provide evidence?
