I am an over 40 employee in Mass who was just released with one of these agreements. I do not really know if i was fired or layed off. I will find out when i get unemployement or not. I have not yet signed or returned the agreement or spoke with counsel. its been a week now. I may call someone in the next couple days

Regarding the provision in the agreement where the separated employee agrees not to sue his/her employer: Does this apply to potential future lawsuits for workplace hazards?

My employer is a chemical processor. The process involves three different acids, sodium and fluorides. There have been complaints among the employees about health issues due to spending long periods of time near these chemicals. If I sign a severance agreement where I agree not to sue my employer, does that include even lawsuits due to workplace health hazards?
