Can a school district ban you from working at a particular property for no cause?
I worked as a principal clerk for my local school district. I was there about a year when my yearly review came up; it was scathing even though I felt I was not given enough training to do my job. I told my union president and the rule is that it takes 2 very bad reviews to fire me. I was given the option tofworking as an instructional assistant in another building. It was less pay but I would be home for my 10 year old. I accepted with the understanding that I was to reapply but I could be laid off. Then I came to find out that I was banned from the main building as per my old supervisor who I complained about. She reprimanded me in front of my co-workers and also told IT to trash my PC before we moved to another space.

Unless your treatment violates the terms of your union agreement (or any employment contract that you may have), you have no claim here. The fact is that an employer can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination).
