My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Washington State.
Recently I received a 30 day notice from my employer.
The company is a "Union" employer in their primary labor product but: my support position is non union.
I have worked there three years with a very good record of hard work, good attendance and very VERY few problems.
Out of the blue my supervisor put me on a very poorly drafted thirty day notice based on non specific issues that are outright lies about my actual record at the employer. (My replacement from another company owned division was hired the same day as my 30 day notice).
My co-workers are very surprised at my problem, as I am the hardest working member of the support team, and they know it.
When I take vacation(s), the mess I return to is obvious, yet other team members vacancies are hardly noticed.
I signed the notice with an attachment denying the truthfulness and asking for specific detail of each false allegation.
I am still on the job, (to my surprise), but: the environment is very hostile.
On my first post notice weekly meeting, my boss admitted holding me responsible for other staff member's work, and lied about another issue and I documented the embarrassing, (from my boss's point of view), disclosure and things are getting worse.
The HR department is in another city, so I have asked the company president to sit in on the next weekly meeting(s) as an impartial observer, and he has agreed.
I am comfortable, (not happy), if my employer lays me off, as I will have unemployment compensation at the max level which will give me time to find another job. I don't have any financial issues/problems, so I can easily stand the financial transition; but: I'm working way too many hours to find a job while still working 50 to 60 hours six days per week.
If my employer attempts to fire me for "cause" and deny said benefits I will fight them, (and prolly win), as they have zero cause to fire me, but could lay me off without any reason.
The company is running at a very surprising operating loss which is prolly why they hired a new employee at less cost then me, (a guess on my part).
Question: can I request a copy or a view of my employee file to see why they are trying to eliminate me?
Are there any State/ Federal, (the employer is multi state based in Oregon I work in Washington State), regulations governing access to an employee's own file?
If regulations/laws exist about access to one' own file please give me a citation.
Thanks in advance for your help.
