Whether that's a remotely practical or useful route I don't know, it may be impossibly expensive, but there's a chance it'd get some compensation and/or better references in a settlement. Again, as @dwizum says, a lawyer is the first place to go. | |

IME, Employment lawsuits are often lost because of things that happen prior to seeking a lawyer's advice. But I can't help but ask, why would you want to work for an employer whom you had to sue in order to keep your job? Do you expect that you'll be treated as everyone's best friend after that happened? It seems likely that no one there will like you, and your future will be one of constant struggle. Weigh that against wiping the slate clean and starting over with a new employer. | |

Then your first step is that you need to talk to a solicitor. You aren't going to get anywhere trying to work out what to ask for yourself. | |
