Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee

Right to sue from EEOc

If EEOC stated that they can't prove discrimination with what was provided from the employer, but will give me a right to sue letter, what good is that? If they said no to sue why would an attorney go for it? I need advise.

Re: Right to sue from EEOc

The EEOC is a fine organization. It has great professionals who work hard every day. They are also overworked and cannot possibly investigate every case to the hilt. Their headquarters in Washington sends them guidelines of the type of priority cases they should work. For these and other reasons a determination that they cannot prove discrimination is not final. Most good employment lawyers review each case on its own merit regardless of the EEOC determination. If you believe you have a good case you should consult with as many employment law attorneys as you can to see if you can generate interest in your case. Employment cases are very difficult, but not impossible. If you have recieved a right to sue letter, you have 90 days to find a lawyer and file your Complaint. Do not delay.
