Discrimination?
Hi MEL,
2 years ago I was laid off from company ABC. Now company XYZ, is a vendor for company ABC. XYZ hired me and notified ABC of this in August. My start day with XYZ was Oct 10. On Oct 13, ABC let XYZ that I had been laid off by them and stated they didn't want to do anything with me nor I was authorized to go back to their building, since their internal politics were clear in regards to "NOT RE-HIRING TERMINATED FORMER EMPLOYEES". Wait a minute, ABC was NOT hiring me. Result? Now XYZ terminated me. Do I have a case? Thanks !

yes
the statement that you were "terminated" constitutes defamation, since the clear inference from the statement is that you were guilty of some wrongdoing. also, abc is liable for interference with your contract of employment with xyz.
you need to talk to an atty experienced in employment law. you can find several in your area at the california employment lawyers assn's website, www.celaweb.org.
good luck
