Could you sue against a city for wrongful termination? Coud you sue for punitive damages?

The foundation is whistleblowing for reporting losses, wastage, and fraudulent coverup by its audit director. I later faced retaliation, harassment, discrimination, and finally terminated via skelly written allegations.

I agree with the writer above. However, be advised that to sue a public entity such as a City, you must exhaust administrative remedies, which may include filing a tort claim with the City. You have six months in which to do after your termination or your claims may be barred.

Yes, a city can be liable for a wrongful termination. No, a city cannot be liable for punitive damages.
