So I need a little advise. Since the original post an agent from the NLRB confronted the company on my behalf with the charges and they offered to settle.
How much do I ask? They already owe me around $1300 in fees and backpay but the agent stressed I could ask for more on top of that, anything, but that he couldn’t advise me on what to choose. Seemed like a clear hint but I have no reference for this stuff. What would be an appropriate ask?
Edit: I don’t remember the exact wording but the charges are for violation of a protected activity and interrogation. I think they tacked on retaliation as well but he never really confirmed it so much as brought up the possibility.
Currently the board hasn’t come to a decision on whether there’s merit in the charges or not but the company has already sent an attorney to offer settlement.
