So, I got fired this week. Upon calling my boss regarding the situation, she stated I was fired for absenteeism, general unwillingness to work, but she had also mentioned me talking about unions. She did not outright say I was fired for that, but it came up and that implied it. If I can record a phone call (legal in my state) and get her to mention “union-talk” again, do I have a case for well… a case? I don't know if my absenteeism trumps union busting. I'm just itching to eat the rich here.
Edit: Just some details I missed that I would like to clarify. She fired me during a four day stretch where I had called in because both my wife and daughter were violently vomiting with some stomach bug. My wife can't drive so I prefer to stay home with them in case something terrible happens. We are brand new parents and so I am a little over-cautious. She mentioned that I don't do any of my cashier duties (not true, but it's what she said). I'm paraphrasing but she then said something along the lines of, “and all this talk about unions.”
