Hello Everyone,
On 7 Oct 2007 I injured my back while working on a home remodeling project. I work as a truck driver, for a fairly large size trash removal company. I Herniated to discs in my lower spine and I have been doing everything the physicians have requested to facilitate my speedy recovery. I have gotten multiple opinions on this, just to make sure. I am receiving short term disability.
Well, to get to the point. Yesterday, in the mail, I received a certified letter from my employer, terminating my job. Can they do this? I'm in the teamsters union, who do I contact? Should I contact them? What should I do next? Do I have to worry that my short term disability is going to end? I'm scared.
I have a family to support.
Please Help!
P.S. I did forget to mention, that I have only been employed by this company for 6 mons. That alone would not qualify me for FMLA
