Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in New Jersey
Government Harassment/retaliation
I filed a discrimination/EEO complaint
against my boss for being a disabled
vet and being threatened with
termination, as well as having been
hurt on the job and threatened with
loosing my job if I did not get back to
work
I have been harassed even more
since filing my EEO and have filed 2
retaliation claims. I am a former
police officer so I have everything
documented, copies of emails just
like I was conducting an
investigation. I work for homeland
security and there are others in my
office being harassed as well.
It still continues, writing memos,
being watched for time in out,
discriminated agaisnt for raises,
special trips, overtime. I have a
pretty solid case. I have written to
Inspector general, EEO, Office of
special counsel etc...
Do I have any options outside
government chains? The main boss
of the office is allowing and
encouraging this. I have writen
numerous letter requesting them to
stop etc. There are about 6 guys in
my office that would like to file a law
suit in addtion to myself. Any help
would be appreciated.
