My former employer told me, at least twice, to not hire too many blacks and to not put them together at the worksites. I was also told to not hire too many men and to not place them together too much. My coworkers %26amp; I had to work overtime for years without OT compensation : when I complained, I was threatened with termination. I have been slapped in the head, objects thrown at me in anger, etc. I've quit my job and filed both state %26amp; federal complaints.
My former employer, when I turned in my resignation-notice, asked me how much they owed me in OT for the last 3.5 yrs. then shuttled some $ into my direct-deposit bank account.
However, they just brushed me off and refused to do mediation in anything, even after I got an attorney. The attorney says I have a strong case, but thinks the EEOC will not pursue the matter due to low funds for that. If so, I would need $4,500 for the attorney, then he'll take the rest of his fees out of any $ awarded. What org. will help?Is there an organization that helps with legal costs for civil rights cases?
Try the ACLU and NAACP websites
