Post: seasonal employment

Posted by David on 5/20/11
I was hired in New York City, for seasonal work in a
jewelry shop in Alaska (company is based out of New
Jersey). On March 28th I signed a contract for a 5 month
period beginning May 1st - Sept 30th. (Paid travel +
housing) I turned down a couple job offers to take this
one.
I had a tentative travel date of May 1st, which was changed
to May 10th, when I was advised there were housing issues.
The lack of communication is making me nervous. It has been
10 days since I last heard from my prospective employer, as
today is May 20th.
Do I have any legal rights and what would be the steps I
should take in case;
1. I do not hear from the company. 2. The company no longer
wishes to fly me to Alaska.
