Good luck. When we moved out East, my husband's employer agreed to pay all moving costs, including airfare for the kids and I plus our pets. They did as promised. The next year when things began to get a little tight in the industry they suddenly said that meant they would pay it upfront, but we would have to repay them through paycheck reductions. We had no recourse but to allow them to which really caused a hardship for us.

Have you PMd InObu/Lorcan Otway? I don't know if he is licensed in MA, but he may know someone who is and, as far as I know, he has experience in this type of law; his Mudcat handle stands for "In One Big Union."
