      If you get suddenly laid off after doing a legally protected activity, you do have very direct recourse.

      Judges aren’t generally stupid, nor is the national labor board. If you do a legal thing companies hate and are suddenly fired out of the blue, it’s very obvious what happened, no matter what the comapny claims. It may take time and effort, but you very may get back paid the fof the entire time you were fired.

      You didn’t get laid off because you discussed your wages.

      You were laid off because you couldn’t keep your cards close to your chest and told the company y’all had been discussing wages.

      Having the right to discuss it doesn’t mean you should do it in front of the boss.

        concerted organizing activity is protected under the law. talking about it with your boss yourself is not organizing activity. talking about it with a coworker in front of your boss is.

        this is what a job journal is for. it would prove what happened.
