    Re: has anyone else had a formal job offer and it was taken

    Call your union rep. Honestly, "going a different direction"
    is not an acceptable answer AFTER a signed formal letter.
    Unless they cut the position, then they can't go a different
    direction on a whim. You might have a case, if you want to
    pursue it with a lawyer.

    A kindergarten teacher in my school had this happen, she
    marched into the superintendent's office and said she is
    calling a lawyer (a union rep advised her), and they gave her
    the job. The real reason they wanted to un-hire her is because
    some one cheaper had come along. She kept the job.
