Re: Wrongful Termination

More | Report Post

Thank you for clearing that up.
Me and Mikey ain't finished yet. I
would be ery carefull how & what i
write because, if the employer has
the means, and knows people in te
right places, your flanks may be
exposed. The smart thing to do is
wait till after the elections.
Then you have to have
substaintiating proof that you can
back up with any defameing remarks
you write in the future. There
dosen't seem like much he can do
if he wins and you & friends sling
mud in his face. Now he has to be
held to a higher standard. And
also to his peers & constituants.
He would have to unsubstantiate
yours and your friends/coworkers
remarks. It's a bit different
after he wins, not before. He has
no sworn duty before the swearing
in part. Are you catching my
meaning?
