Description

An individual employed as a warehouse worker and material handler in the manufacturing industry was terminated after ten years of employment, with the stated reason being absenteeism despite having no prior disciplinary record or missed days. The employee believes the termination was retaliatory, potentially related to FMLA usage for a health condition, and suspects the employer engaged in cost-cutting measures despite being a large company with multiple locations.
