please please see a lawer

you have a very good case.the only stickler is the more than 12 weeks. BUT each state has reulations for such things. depending on when they made the discion to let you go may fall under the 12 weeks which then they violated the FMLA act of 1992. then they were unduly on you because you changed status FT to PT..
in the least you may get reemloyed on the outside you very may get a 'seperation' settlement. these companys count on the fired/ laid off person just to suck it up and not fight. but if you fight the will probly want it to go away and settle....
