I've been through part of this too. From a legal standpoint, initially, each of these issues have to be handled independently. Only at the end, can
it be combined for a final strike against them.
Since you are in Hemet, CA, listen to KFI 640 AM, Bill Handel in the morning is a lawyer and gives free legal advice early Sat Morn. His website at
handleonthelaw.com has legal referals.
You do everything in writing, clear, to the point, and assume they don't know anything about your case so spell it out in each correspondence as
though you are talking to a child, because you are.
1) you can be fired at anytime for any reason. If they give you a formal reason, such as "fired for incompetence", that gets sent to the
Unemployement agency and they automatically believe the employer, especially another governmental agency. You must ALWAYS, respond back in writing
and APPEAL. Claim your rights under the "Whistler Blower Act", Calif. and Feds have one. Send a summary to everyone on the city's board, fire
board, and county.
2) Since you were a union employee, you got a hearing, from the Union. Your crime was you were trying to stop additional fire stations and additional
union workers from getting jobs. This is why you lost. Again, respond back in writing and APPEAL. Claim your rights under the "Whistler Blower
Act", Calif. and Feds have one. Ask for you union dues back for unfair practices. Then forward all of this to their upper level union, AFL-CIO /
mafia / costa nostra groups. (union called me telling me they were going to burn my house down, they are not nice guys).
3) Make sure of your facts on the eviction (assuming a rental unit?), then you should of had a lease with a set of rules, start date, end date,
holdover, and rental amount. The only reason that someone can kick you out of a rental unit is if you are determined an nuisance or hazard to others
in the neighborhood (usually applies to drug dealers). If you met all of the criteria of a valid lease, you should be golden unless they made you
sign somesort of release when leaving. California tenant laws are pro-tenant and you should win easily, have them pay for your move, get back your
deposite, etc.
4) Call the State Agency who handles whistleblowing and file a written complaint. this is the tough one.
5)Call the State Agency who handles sexual harrassment and file a written complaint. They will call the employer and try for a settlement. Was the
IP address from the persons personal HOME email? if so, try and find out that it was that person. If it was the city's email, then you got him good
since they have their own block of computer ip addresses.
Since most agencys are overloaded and have limited investigative abilities, you have to do the investigation, and write up the executive summary and
back it up with how you did the analysis, play detective and everything in WRITING.
Dont' try and get your job back, it never works, just screw them over and get satisfaction from that.
GOOD LUCK, GET THE BASTARDS...
