            NLRB will provide you their equivalent of a public defender if you start a complaint. Also some unions will offer some pro bono if you apply. AFL-CIO will (I know, I know).

        all kidding aside, you don’t have a case here that I can see. if I were your boss I’d simply say “I asked him for a number and he gave me an answer that wasn’t a number so I stopped negotiating.” that would hold up fine. and then I’d probably go cry myself to sleep about being a corporate shit. Also, he was clearly already in the process of firing you (or accepting your constructive resignation) when you brought up the union. I say this only because I don’t want you to waste time, energy, or money on something a judge will throw right out of court.

              oh I wasn’t going to get fired, I could have kept shrekposting indefinitely.

              it was just killing me inside every day that i woke up still working there.

                If you spam lots of comments it automatically puts the post at the top of the front page, even if it has like 10 upvotes. So that way everyone sees it and upvotes it. I didn’t realize that it was that powerful though lol. Sorry for making you lose your job lol.

      they were paying me minimum wage and trying to make me come into an office while they worked from home. this builds resentment in the worker.

    LMFAOOOOOOOO comrade I appreciate you deciding to never mark “you can contact this business about my employment history” on any future job applications this saga has made me literally cry laughing

    “I want a raise to $25/hr” (literally not even $50k/year you were being NICE here)

    Dave’s dumbass: :whywhywhywhywhy: please be reasonable you do realize I have to keep you in wage slavery!!
