well, i would use them asa reference no matter what the parting circumstances were.
i would just fudge a bit on the contact person. so if the place was large enough, and you had some friends there, put down their name as the contact.
my boss at my old job didnt like me cuz i was a green haired freak back then, but the webmaster did like me, so i just give people his number and say he was my boss. works great for me!

I recently quit a job (after giving a month's notice) and let's just say the boss wasn't happy with things as I left them (no fault of mine!), and is now refusing to pay me in full for my last two weeks (not to mention the vacation pay and 1 week of termination pay owed), and declared he will pay my replacement out of the money he's withholding... I've already called the labour relations board, and there's the slimmest chance this will all be resolved peacefully...
But, what if it's not? This job is basically the only hard, real experience I have, and thus the only real reference I could put on my resume. What do I do?
