I was forced to leave my job after 28 years given partial penson and then got a letter 3 years later over paid me and taking me a collection agency. I think they owe me that and them some. But they keep employees with less years and allow them to work. If that had of let me work a couple of more months I would not have owe that amount. They did give us a chose of other citys to work for we pasted the test but at the time I could not move because of family reason. So I was put on a leave when leave was over I applied for my same job, let me go on job visit and never called back. So I took the same test a month or two later and could not pass it haha. I'm wondering is there some type of class action suit against this company for the way the treated their employess. As well as against the union

First, a class action lawsuit would get you nothing. Even if you were to win, the amount of the settlement would be pennies, even if you initiated it, so you would have to initiate something like this on your own. Even so, your action would probably have to be for unjust termination, and it doesn't appear there was anything unjustified about it based on the facts as you provide them. It would seem the union negotiated the settlement with ATT as well; I sense the union did the best they could under the circumstances. You're going to have to provide the documents you were handed and signed at the time of your discharge to your attorney in order to figure all of it out. I would believe that if the union negotiated your termination along with everyone else....they had their attorneys cross all t's and dot all i's before proceeding. The attorneys would have also reviewed the seniority clauses in your CBA as well before your termination as well. Keeping newer employees in a union environment is generally unusual unless there are mitigating circumstances to either selectively choose poor performing employees, choose employees close to retirement and offer a better pension than they would have otherwise received, or other circumstances outside the CBA.
What is worse is that your refusal to accept a job in another city has been deemed in some collective bargaining situations as a voluntary termination - doesn't matter the reason for the refusal. Once discharged from the company, voluntary or otherwise, your past history with the company doesn't obligate the company to hire you back.
It's now also been five years. There may some states like California where the statute of limitations has run out. You will need to check this out in your state; it may not be an issue in your state since many other states go longer...seven to ten years.
You may wish to engage in additional training in order to get a job in a new career. The phone business is not what you want to be in anymore....
