I contacted a lawyer at the UAW and he told me I did not have any options. I don’t believe him. I think he was kind of shady because there’s something I have mentioned to him and he was the only one I mentioned it too, and when I went back to look at my email, something had been changed and one of my emails. I don’t trust him.
