Under Maryland law, you can be filed with or without cause, at any time. You need to check Ohio law and see if there are better laws for you. Did they pay you what they owed you? If not, you may be able to recover that money.
I feel like I am in alone in fighting this case, as we are in the discovery stages and only I am viewing all the documents. I also believe that he might be working with the state to get a low settlement. I have been demoted, fired, harassed and lost my retirement. What can I do.

I presume you have a lawyer. If you are not satisfied with your lawyer, why not hire a new one.
In my experience, videotaped depositions are always more expensive than traditional depositions.
60 days into a new job- I came into work throwing up but ready to work. The doctor I was working for asked me to go home. Now during my review they are using that against me saying it was an unexcused day.

Your defamation claim would be against your coworkers. You have to have evidence that you did not say what they reported. Regarding HR, since Black and Decker is a private company, you should check their disciplinary action policies to see if you have any recourse.
Only because I left the company without giving notice, because I couldn't tolerate disparaging statements against my ethnicity?
answered on Jun 27, 2017
If you complained of discrimination or harassment based on your ethnicity, yes, your employer may be held liable for retaliation if that's what motivated them to do so. The Supreme Court decided that issue in Robinson v. Shell Oil Co., 519 U.S. 337 (1997).
