My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: OH

I was let go for one violation of company rule. I had been employee at this company for over ten years. I had never been written up or had any verbal warning of any violation in my file. My yearly reviews had always been in the exceeds. The rule that I broke was one that is commonly done at my previous employer and management was aware of. I think I was let go as the manager did not like me personally and was looking for a reason to terminate me. Do I have ground for a wrongful termination suit.
as the others have stated, no, you have no claim but what really is odd is that you admit to breaking a company rule. The fact that a previous employer did not act when such a rule was broken would have absolutely no bearing on what this employer can and cannot do.\

btw: the fact the manager did not like you is actually all he needed to terminate you. There is nothing illegal about terminating people you don't like as long as the reason you do not like them is among the protected classes (race, religion, gender, etc.)
