Disqualified due to false references and possible discrimination
Recently applied to be state police, passed everything with flying colors. Background investigation rolls by and was disqualified due to false references by former employers and possible discrimination by background officer. Need to get into more depth to see story more cleary. Is is a case?

Re: Disqualified due to false references and possible discrimination
you may very well have a claim for retaliation either under federal or state statutes . . .
if you have more information a better analysis could be made . . . however there are very definite time limits within which you must make administrative claims to preserve your rights . . .
you could go to your local office of FEHA (Fair Employment in Housing) to file a claim which they will do at no charge . . . however there may be other causes of action about which only an attorney could advise you . . . Good luck to you . . . Patty Lewis . . . [email protected]
