Speak to a union rep or lawyer. Do not sign that paper whatever you do.
There isn't much you can do to determine what a former employer is saying about your time there, except that in Tennesee, it is illegal for an employer to say anything except how long you worked there and if you are eligable for rehire. You could have an employment service call them.
If you were a good employee, but had a misunderstanding with your former employer you should have tried to get a Letter of Recommendation. It's tough to prove that your former employer is saying anything bad about you so there is little you can do. I don't know how long you worked before, but, if it was just a year or two then on your Resume just skip the last job if you can. I have done that. If they ask just say you took the year off. If I don't trust the former employer I will choose a Supervisor or another person with a position in that company for the next possible employer to contact.
What percent can a creditor take from your paycheck in the state of Montana, saying you owe 5,000.
Exactly what is stated, he/she 'might' their current employer to seek work for a different employer.

Yes, he can. Raises are not a right, unless you have a contract saying so, or a Union agreement saying so.
Don't sign anything. Good job so far. If you agree that you quit your job, you almost certainly become ineligible for unemployment benefits. Your employer is almost certainly violating the law by withholding your final check. You may be able to find some legal aid by contacting your local unemployment office. Or you can find a lawyer that's willing to work for a fee that you can tack onto the lawsuit.
Few statutes prohibit employers from saying anything about former employees. Defamation law imposes no liability for saying the truth about a former employee (or anyone). Former employee permission is never required. Some employers insist on it just to deflect liability - which doesn't exist.
No, those are two ways of saying the same thing.
eventhough, this issue is something private but if he was your boss, I think he can do it unless he is saying that to put you in trouble
To liberate or to release.
You start off by saying " i smoked a little dope, there is nothing wrong with that the laws are designed to hold the man down" Collect you last paycheck and find a new job.
