So, if you get the lawyers involved, things could go very bad. BUT, I’ll bet if you let enough labor lawyers read this, at least one of them will take the case under terms that you might want to accept.
IANAL, TINLA, but I agree with the other posters that this could be a violation of federal regulations. (But, there’s a lot of details I cannot glean from the posting that could affect legality.)

I’d expect there needs to be actual damages first. So you have to say no and then get fired, and then you have a case.
Though if it’s heading that way, a lawyer may want to help you prep to seal the case as it’s being made.
I’ve sat through a lot of depositions in employment cases, and the best thing a potential plaintiff can do is maintain documents and a timeline.
