My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: michigan
Hi. I was fired from my job last week for attendance policy violation.
I was given written warnings and progressive diciplines.
The thing is, 95% of my call offs were due to sick children. Cant send to school sick.
Also got written up gor tardies. Im late everyday by 5-10 minutes. I have been everyday for 4 years. This is because earliest i can drop kids off at school is 630am. Work starts at 7am and its slightly more than a 30 minute drive. Ive put that in writing when i first started working there. It was never a problem. Their are many other employees that do the same thing and they are still working there. At one point i was written up for a call off because my kids had lice. I provided a letter from school stating they werent allowed back until the lice were gone.
We got a new(but had worked thete before)administrator that has never liked me. In fact for no reason she banned me from working in an entire part of the building. She had threatened to fire me, in front of coworkers)my 2nd week of employment for not having a walkie talkie(which isnt a company policy and which nobody else does)
She wrote "piss poor" on a report i turned in and made me re do it...i made a copy and kept it.
I filed unemployment, wondering what my chances are?
