I work for an at-will company in Minnesota. I would like to know if even as an at-will employer can a person be fired when the company does not follow or enforce its own policies consistently and fairly. Do I have any recourse if my boss, after being reprimanded by HR, goes around and tells the other employees that I reported him and that I should not get any special treatment because he and his boss are mad that I reported him? Does that not violate the confidentiality of HR?
I would also like to know what if any effect a union would have in this, I’ll explain. The company operates as ABCXYZ Group LLC. They operate several different locations all controlled by the same corporate structure. Some are union locations and some are not. Does the union association at some of the locations have any bearing on their ability to operate “at-will” at the non-union locations? They basically follow the union guidelines for pay and benefits etc. at the non-union locations to try to keep them from organizing.
