What can I do if my employer is denying be the right to return to work?
I currently work for a security company. It is required in my state that in order to work security you need an active guard card. I was working a full-time position with a company that I signed a contract with. Recently my guard card expired and, like I stated before, you are required to have one. Therefore, I was not able to work while a new card application was being processed. Now I have my ne card but my employer will not give me my position back. What should I do?

Unless your termination violated the terms of a union agreemnt or employment contract, there really isn't much that you can do. The fact is that most employment is "at will", which means that a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit, absent some form of legally actionable discrimination. Therefore, a worker can be dismissed for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
