Cool, so now can I talk about how my former employer offered me severance only if I signed something not to talk about it because I was about to file a long term disability case and they knew it?
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> now can I talk about how my former employer offered me severance only if I signed something not to talk about it because I was about to file a long term disability case Your right to talk to a lawyer was never jeapordised. Your right to complain to the NLRB or threaten litigation/arbitration was also probably never in question. (Your claims may now be strengthened or expanded.) Your right to disclose it publicly, e.g. here, may not be protected.
- forevergreenyon 4y agoso I can sign a contract to get rid of my right to say/write whatever I want but I cannot sign a contract to "sell myself back into slavery"???
- joshka 4y agoThere's some interesting paragraphs in the full ruling about providing support for other employees going through similar things, which would be prevented by such a severance agreement with disparagement and non-disclosure clauses. It's worth a read.
