Re: blacklisting

Not being employed must be really setting you back financially. This sounds like your former employer is really hurting you. You should talk to an attorney. Usually employers are very hesitant to give negative references because of the possibility of lawsuit. It sounds like your former employer is not so wise. Whether you have an employment claim or a libel/slander claim, or both, you should consult a lawyer. Contact me directly if you'd like further assistance.
