Get advice on employment conflicts and occupational diseases
Questioner
I am involved in an employment dispute case together with my union against my former employer. I am now 49 and it concerns an occupational disease case, I have become 100% incapacitated for work and disabled since 2010, due to accelerated work. This has led to a protracted case with much mudslinging and little burden of proof from the other party. After the umpteenth rejection of the other party's insurance, we (the union and I) decided to take the road to court, and now the party suddenly says it wants to talk. In other words, I suspect a settlement, I was asked what I think is a fair amount. The union does not want to influence us by naming an amount, but what do you advise me, a settlement or a lawsuit, and what is a fair amount?Lawyer
How annoying for you that you have had to try for so long to get your rights. Unfortunately, your question cannot be answered on this site. What is a reasonable amount as compensation depends so strongly on all the circumstances of your case that it is only possible to give a sensible answer if your entire file has been studied. It is strange that the union is guiding you but does not want to give an indication. As a specialist, they should at least be able to give an indication. If you want, you can contact me to see if and how I can possibly help you further.Neem de volgende stap
