What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NC
I was hired by a consultation firm, who was contracted by a meat packing firm. About a month later there was an allegation made by an associate(s) that I was in the ladies restroom with another female. After that the superintendent of the meat packing plant questioned me about the incident in which i denied it and told him he needed to talk to my superior. At this point, on like a Monday morning I was terminated for this allegation, I was told by a foreman in my office. There was no investigation that I am aware of. Okay now on the 5th of Nov, I was asked to take a job with another contract company that was taking over the sanitation for the same. So I went in and we did our walk around and everything and just got a feel of what we would need and how it would be set up. I was asked to come in with 3 other employees. We all have experience in Sanitation and we have all been with that particular company in the past. So on in the afternoon on Nov 6th. I was called by an employee of the new company and told that they were not going to be able to hire me because of the allegation that was made on me when I was with the first company I was with. I have emails and a text message to this affect and i have a witness who says that this is why they failed to hire me. My question is does this amount to wrongful termination, or defamation according to the definition. And what do I need to do now if anything. I tried to explain the best way i could without using names, but the first company i was with had a contract to do work within another company. I will explain further if need be.
