Hi,
I worked for a company for 13yrs. In the production dept & helping out in the warehouse.
The President of the company had a personal issue with me. Then in Feb.2007 I was told that they were eliminating the production dept. My last day would be March 23, 2007. I asked if I could be put into the warehouse, since I knew they needed help out there. I was told No.
I had to sign a Severance Agreement & General Release. Told if I didn't, would not get anything.When I left in March, they had people come in & do the same work I had been doing for 13yrs. All Men, much younger then me. I had contacted the EEOC for Age Discrimination. I was told nothing they can do. I should contact Legal Advice.
My questions is:
I signed the Agreement under false Pretenses, because they were fully aware that the dept was not going to be Eliminated. But had me sign it anyway.I would like to know if I could get it Thrown out , or Null & Void, because of what they did to me?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
