I am looking for a low cost/pro bono attorney in San Diego who specializes in labor law. I work for the County of San Diego. I am being discriminated against and have a right to sue letter. Thank you.

Perhaps you mean contingency basis. Contact me directly.
Re: pro bono attorney
Many employment lawyers will take such cases on contingency, but might ask for your contribution to hard costs, such as postage, depositions, etc. Should should discuss the financial arrangement up front.
You might check with the San Diego County Bar Association lawyer referral service, or go to Celaweb.org to select an employment attorney to contact.
Re: pro bono attorney
Nice try. Either your case is worth taking on normal terms of contingency with modest retainer, or its not worth taking at all. If attorneys are telling you they'll only take it on hourly basis, then I suspect it isn't worth taking and they're simply trying to get rid of you. It must have merit [winability], value [high dollar judgment potential] and collectability [defendant with money]. Without all three, no one is going to be interested. Now, with all that said, IF you think it has all three, feel free to contact me.
