I Got Fired For Forming A Union

Location: WA state

Back in October, I was let go from my job. I was told my position was eliminated and then they offered me a lower position at a site that is too far away from my location. I had an arranged hybrid position to accommodate my son’s daycare schedule and this “offer” was explicitly stated to be 5 days a week. They were also hiring for that same position at the location I worked at.

At the time, I had suspicions it was due to my activity in attempting to form a union. Which I was working with union organizers and actively filling out paperwork at the time. Nothing had been fully filed yet as I was about to start collecting signatures the day I was let go.

As of two weeks ago, I was reached out to by a form per colleague who told me to lawyer up because she had text messages from the owner stating she wanted to fire me because I was trying to form union.

She won’t send the screenshots and has told me to subpoena them from her with my own lawyer. This is annoying because without it, I can’t file anything with the NLRB.

Is this enough for a case? Would a lawyer take this on? I’ve been reaching out to firms and haven’t heard anything back yet so I’m wondering if I’m grasping for straws here.

Thanks!
