<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

First off I'd like to thank everyone here for their advice and assistance in getting this taken care of.

In July I was fired from my position because my coworkers knew my hourly rate, and my boss at the time had forbidden anyone to discuss that information.  I knew this was illegal so I asked all of you what I should do, and you came through.  One of the first suggestions I got was to contact the NLRB, and that's exactly what I did.  I didn't end up contacting a lawyer on my own and ended up just going through the NLRB, but they were pretty awesome about the whole thing.  I definitely felt like they had my back the whole time and they were very helpful and professional.  They appointed me a lawyer for the case and we were preparing for trial next month when the company decided to settle.  I got back pay plus interest, the company has to post a notice telling everyone they were wrong and that they're allowed to talk about pay, and they had to offer me my position back (which I declined).  

So seriously thank you all.  I wouldn't have known where to start without this sub.
