Re: suspended from work

The at-will Doctrine allows you to be fired. What you need is a law that allows you ro recover should you be terminated. The fact that you have a progressive discipline structure may be of some value in alleging a breach of contract implied-in-fact or even implied-in-law. Better y et would be breach of a federal employment statute.

Yours may be an age discrimination case ready to ripen. Consult with counsel in private to explore available remedies. If you would like a referral to Pittsburgh attorneys let me know.

Good Luck.
