The Evidence I assembled for my EEOC Hearing
Background
-On 26 January 2009, I filed a complaint with EEOC (which described the unlawful discrimination and retaliation being perpetrated against me by the USDA Agricultural Research Service (ARS) in Alaska
-I was the first of three women research scientists working for the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Alaska to file with EEOC
- My complaint: EEOC # 551-2009-00074x (USDA# ARS-2008-00696)
- The 2nd woman’s complaint: EEOC # 551-2009-00076x (USDA# ARS-2008-00542)
- The 3rd woman’s complaint: EEOC # 551-2009-00078x (USDA# ARS-2008-00647)
-As a federal worker, I waited 225 days to become eligible to file with EEOC
- A minimum of 30 days of waiting is required for the Informal EEO process
- An additional 180 days of waiting is required for the Formal EEO process
-I waited 571 more days for an EEOC Hearing, (but Judge Gaffin never scheduled one)
225 + 571 = 796 days
To put that in perspective for people who lack empathy and/or EEOC experience:
I endured continued harassment, discrimination, and escalating
retaliation from my ARS supervisor (and other USDA personnel)
for 796 excruciating days after filing an EEO complaint.
-I was forced to quit my job with the ARS, (968 days after first providing the Agency
with evidence of my supervisor’s unlawful activities against women)
