Re: Retaliatory action
I can't answer the question based on what you told me. What authority did they have to stop you from taking a job with their franchisee? (for example, a non-compete agreement) Did they promise you something in return for stopping you from taking that job? Maybe the promise is enforceable if it is specific enough.
This situation is worth calling and talking to a lawyer about.
