Foots right, raise a big stink. The obviously don't link stink as they're willing to throw you to the wolves to prevent one. Worst case, the injustice has been documented in official lawyer papers, and if they get pissy, court papers and newspapers. If they force you down, take 'em with you. If they back off, I assure you they'll think twice before pulling that shit again.
