Hi there,

I see that you haven't made a payment for the question, but I'm going to assist you a little. If you want to ask a follow-up question, please make the required payment.

I think that he doesn't have a claim against the company, because he settled the dispute. 

If anything, he might have a claim against the union official for "forcing" him to sign the settlement agreement. 

But I don't think that he has a claim against anyone because nobody held a gun to his head and forced him to settle the dispute.
