have you filed a grievance about the termination? What did the union rep say about the termination? What did the union rep say abuot the damaging of company property?

You are missing a huge part of the puzzle in your post:

the union.



where are they in all of this? You do need to follow your CBA and it very likely requires you to grieve all of what you are asking about before seeking other means of action.
I left out most of the Union info to "try" and keep the post "short". To answer your question, yes I have filed for wrongful termination through my Union, "UFCW", however I have yet to hear from my Union concerning the verbal abuse and assault, and I have not had any follow-up on the wrongful discharge grievence. It has been 3 weeks since Jack battered my shoulder and I filed a grievence on that, no reply from the Union rep as of yet.
I filed my wrongful termination grievence 20 min after my meeting with the store director, and now 4 days later I still have yet to hear anything from my Union.
My regional Union rep has yet to return any of my 3 calls over the last 2 weeks. I am looking into contacting someone else to handle my grievences. So far, considering how much in Union dues I have paid in the last 8+ years, I have had very little support or help from them. This is the reason I am asking what I can do legally. I don't think I will receive any compensation through my Union, so is "now" the time to get a hold of a lawyer? Does anyone think a Lawyer can help me?
