Like i dont want to be the cloud over your idea but im just gonna throw this out there. Downsizes are part of business. at my dads business they layed off the whole factory and shipped it off to vietnam. things like that happen, and the sad thing was that the new boss ordered it too. Im guessing but im pretty sure your mom is more than qualified to get another job, maybe better. Good luck with the sueing
SUE THE BASTARDS!!!
