I'm having trouble understanding some of this. You need to use peridos and captial letters.

OK, I've re-read you post and here goes.

Georgia is an At Will employment state, however you have a union. So you first have to look to see what the union contract says. If there is no provision that they have to provide a reason, than #1 the At Will law would prevail and #2 you have one Sh-ty union contract.

At any rate, you need to handle this one through the union. If the union won't stand behind you, then there's not much else you can do.

As far as the law is concerned, no, this is not a wrongful termination.

I don't see where it says that you are union, and not all grocery stores are union. But IF you are union, you need to go through them. We can't know if this is a violation of your contract, but it is not a violation of the law.

termination and union

yes i am in union i will look in the contract book i have another question about my unployment claim as i stated i was getting benifits for 4weeks
and then got a letter from the labor board for retermined determination
that i was denied because it was a violation of policy to get a rain check and for misconduct now mangement wrote me up as being suspended pending human resources we had a meeting with mangement me and my union delegete and that i was discharged for integerity they told labor board different i did request a hearing even in the write up it says nothing about misconduct it also wasnt signed by mangement they didnt sign the write up
is there anything i can do about the information they gave to labor board.

I know it's hard to read, but it's there:

would have not left any stakes for the customer so i called the union they setup a meeting with mangement

To cathy44 - Please use captials and periods. Your posts are very hard to read and understand.
