National Labor Relations Board
So the NLRB has filed a wrongful termination suit against my former employer. My former employer has agreed to settle for my back pay... so long as I drop the claims that I have filed with OSHA and the Industrial Commission AND that they do not need to rehire me back. OSHA notified my employer about my complaint and I was fired. The Industrial Commission was brought in for unpaid work time in the amount of 4-7hrs per week. Although there were employees missing 8-10hrs per week. Should I ask for more money to stop pursuing my other filings?
No.find you a lawyer
I think that you need to discuss this with an attorney the only information you can get here would likely be wrong. Yes you can demand more but that would require concrete proof and it could backfire. Personally I wouldn't care about the money I would push the OSHA investigation to make sure unsafe conditions are remedied because even though I don't work somewhere anymore other people do who could be in danger sometimes it is about doing the right thing not the dollars. I would want them to be accountable and taking a cash payout to basically shut up just feels all wrong to me.
Hi Monica: This is definitely an interesting question - do you have an employment lawyer you can ask about this issue?
Ok is there union involved in this? Nrlb does not put up people for termination mgmt does. Very vague in you post
