[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]File a complaint with EEOC. They aren't fast but they do a good investigation. Sometimes, a company will settle once they are apprised of the complaint. You have 180 days to file but you should file as quickly as possible. Are you eligible for unemployment? If so, apply and start collecting. Find out if state where job was has their own labor complaint Dept and file with them. It is difficult to prove but not impossible. Go for it![/quote] NP here and the only question I would have with this approach is whether you as the claimant retain the ability to settle the case or whether the EEOC proceeds independently of what you want. I don't know the answer but does the EEOC represent the claimant or the state in terms of vindicating the state's interest in eliminating discrimination? If the EEOC represents the state you will lose some of the leverage to settle because they may not withdraw the complaint if you ask them to.[/quote]
