Wrongfully Terminated

I worked for 2 years for a non-profit organization. I occasionally have to give injections to clients. I ran out of sharps containers and notified my employers on numerous occasions that i was out. I also called the county to come and they did not show up. This situation was put on the back burner. I had to do something with the sharps so i lined a box with 2 red biohazard bags and place the box out of reach for disposal and monitored so that it wouldnt overflow. This went on and on despite my request. recently i was moving from one office to the next. while i had not had a chance to move everything out of my office before then end of my shift, my boss went into my office and somehow came an alligation that she stuck herself with a needle in this box. I was terminated over 1 week later not even aware that i was being investigatied until 1 shift before my termination. is there any responsibility with my employer here for failure to supply me with the requested containers? :mad:

This is legal and employment advice that we can't answer. I would take this to an employment attorney.
