Being fired for being sick
I felt sick, very lightheaded, at work 2 weeks. When I called in sick the following day, I was told that I lied, that I was unprofessional(have even a letter from them) and that I am not allowed back at work! I also had a doctors notice but didn't help... this past Friday my headaches were severe and I ended up at the ER and they performed several exam and scans on my head. The doctors told me that there is a certain mass on my brain and need to go for an MRI this week. The company I worked for for 15 months is a trading company in Chicago, trading fixed income products at the Board Of Trade and had no official contract with them! Do I have a case here to take these people to court?
Thank you
