If you have been in a "non job" for six months as they haven't found anything for you I would suggest you are on the downward slope. I would meet with them to discuss their offer and hold out for a little more. They want you to go away without the hassle and you want as much as you can get. There should be a place somewhere in the middle that suits both. Invent a training course that you fancy that takes two years and use this as leverage to get the payment you need. It gives them an out and if they feel they are helping you to retrain they mighht be able to offset it. Do not attend meetings on your own, take someone with you or if this is not possible ask permission to record the meeting for your and their protection. Lastly but most importantly don't be bullied and don't take it too personally, to them its just business.
I am no expert on employment law etc. HR and unions are fine but it sounds to me like this has gone quite far.
If I was in your shoes Haile I would take a few days off work to get some proper advice (from people who know what they are talking about) and then follow the advice. I like to think I would take the money and go. It could be a weight off your mind.
