I was recently retaliated against and fired after complaining to my manager about not being paid for hours I worked, not having access to my paystub, and working through my lunch breaks and not getting paid, and for getting hurt on the job but my manager not allowing me to get medical assistance or making a report of the injury. Amongst other things like not reimbursing me for my uniform or training. Can I sue them for these things?
