I will pray and send good vibes to you and your hubby. I am glad you are taking a stand against this guy. Maybe he will learn that you can NOT treat your employees like dogs!!!
Sounds like you have a very good case for wrongful termination. I don't know if Best Western is a chain or a franchise, but either way, maintaining a good public image should be a priority for such a high profile corporation. They've spent too much money on advertising to have it go to waste by allowing people to associate their name with employee abuse. Additionally, as a chain/franchise, Best Western may have requirements covering management practices - which the motel owner may have violated.
Best of luck to you in your case and in securing future income opportunities,
