Wht to do if I was suspended from work due to a conversation on facebook where myself and 2 co-workers where venting about a write up I recieved?
It was also mentioned how everyone knew I was getting wrote up before I did and it actually happened. I was the only one out of the three that was involved in the conversation that was suspended. I feel like my supervisor singled me out and retaliated againt me, and believe my right that is protected by the National Labor Review Act of 1935 was violated. I’m facing termination now. What can I do?

In order to determine whether or not your suspension from work was justified or not, you need to carefully read the presumed employee employer handbook at your place of employment to see if you violated any aspects of it. From there, you need to get a copy of the presumed written reprimand and suspension setting forth the reasons for the discipline.
Compare the handbook and the reason you were disciplined. From there your option is to consult with a labor attorney and/or a representative with your local department of labor to go over the issues of your discipline at work to see if you were unfairly and improperly singled out.
