Re: Discrimination, harassment, intimidation, humiliation

You say the route was taken away from you due to "the amount of income." Do you mean it was making too much income for a woman? If there is some gender-related bias to the employer's action, contact the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

Indianapolis District Office

101 W. Ohio Street, #1900

They can help you prepare a claim, which they will investigate.

If this is not a gender related claim, then you may have other tort-claims: tortous interference with a contractual relationship,for one. Consult with a member of your local bar association for further advice.
