Wrongful Termination? The Legal BAC is .08 But I Just Got Fired For Blowing .07

The judiciary system of the United States of America was established on September 24th, 1789 to protect the rights of our nation’s citizens and it has repeatedly been mocked, most recently in my complete unlawful firing from Cobblestone Rehabilitation Facility.

I arrived at work on January 21st a mere 2 hours late and was subject to, an unconstitutional I might add, sobriety test. I was absolutely irate. I fully believe this was a backlash after being accused of stealing cold medicine from the site’s clinic. The investigation was inconclusive so they were unable to take action against me, but then this incident conveniently took place.

I informed the administrator of my pigeon toe condition which leaves me unable to walk in a straight line and it was disregarded. I was humiliated as I was forced to attempt impossible tasks such as standing on one foot for an entire 15 seconds and reciting the alphabet in its entirety without any pauses. Once it was deemed that I had failed these egregious tests I was forced to blow.

I felt fully vindicated when the breathalyzer device showed I had a blood alcohol content of .07 and was not in fact intoxicated at my post. I was then called into the office of my immediate supervisor and relieved from my position.

I was stunned. My home state’s regulations clearly read that .08 BAC is the level that would result in arrest. I cannot understand any justification for my firing as I was obviously well under the legal limit. My former employer now has the nerve to deny me unemployment benefits on top of all of it. I have submitted my case to several wrongful termination lawyers to no avail. I am currently in the process of appealing to the state on my own accord to right this incredible wrong but the state Attorney General seems to be refusing to respond to my dozens of emails.

I assure you I will win this case when it is brought to trial. I will also be suing for emotional damages as the stress of this incident has resulted in a dependency on alcohol so severe that my family forced me into the very rehab facility that brought about this whole situation. I will not rest until I take everything these criminals own and restore my good name.
