Legal Question in Employment Law in Iowa
Privacy Act
A training coordinator disclosed information from my personal file, which is in HR office,5 months after I had transfered out to another employee at another location in turn told someone else and so forth. This is a Federal Agency. Under the Privacy Act, I can request compensation for embrassment and emotional harship.
Does anyone handle Federal Court Cases?

Re: Privacy Act
You can get some initial help from contacts listed on the websites of the US Department of Labor and possibly the EEOC.
