Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in New York
Did dept of labor violate my privacy by sending suicide note?
Long story short, I left work because of a hostile workplace enviroment. I have been given a right to sue letter from the eeoc. While I was applying for unemployment benefits, the ny dept of labor released my suicide note to my previous employer prior to a hearing. Is this protected? Should they have done this? On the note was also my 401k login and password. Did they violate any laws?

Re: Did dept of labor violate my privacy by sending suicide note?
It all depends on the nature of the communication and whether they knew that it was protected by any privacy laws. Perhaps it was released out of retaliation for filing with the EEOC. You may contact my office or visit my webpage, http://lwade-law.com, for more information. Good luck!
