Oh, boy! Really good news. The 13th Amendment says no involuntary slavery. So, when they tell you that you have to go to, or back to work, tell them that you don't wish to. This will let them know that you are not volunteering if you work. Then, ask them if it's an order. If they say "yes," then give them an invoice in the amount that you want ($1,000,000). See if it will be worth it to them to have you work at your rates for once. After all, 13th Amendment. No involuntary slavery. Maybe you can form an informal union with all your fellow workers-to-be.
