So he only gets paid when he goes on a contracted job? And they are telling him they are not giving him more contracts to work on? This should not be a firing situation, it has to be a layoff, he hasn't done anything wrong. People don't get fired unless they dont perform or they do something wrong, otherwise it is a layoff. This doesn't sound right because they have told him to look for another job and they havent given him any real details, he needs to ask for the specifics and make sure that they write down the reason etc. Maybe there is a labor board or something he should consult with. And its government run? Oh, he should collect. I don't know the waiting period for collecting but maybe he could see if there is severance for two months or thru the holidays or something. Dont worry about pride, not in this economy. Your husband has to take care however he needs to, he has done no wrong.
