yes, In March 2008, EEOC sent me a letter with right to sue for retaliation. I filed discrimination based on gender against them in 2003 and because they gave false info to the eeoc at that time, the charge was dismissed. I was then charged two months later with absenteeism, again, five months later, absenteeism, although the charge was dismissed, they placed it in my personnel file. Six months later, absenteeism, although my sister had been diagnosed with lung cancer and due other family illness, I had missed work and I was charged with absenteeism. that was 08/04, In Feb. 2005 a defective rail car that was suppose to go to the scrap yard was placed in my train, while setting that car out of my train, it obtained further damage and I was wrote up for a train handling incident. In 07/05 I passed a defective red signal and I was fired. They covered up the fact the signal was defective. They did not respond to my authorized union appeals but to appeals from a union I didn't belong to. In 2006, before the deadline expired to file a charge against them, I did, for discrimination based on gender. In 11/06 I attended a fact finding conference with the IDHR and CSX. CSX stated I had to wait for the public law board ruling to find out if I could have my job back. While the IDHR asked if I wanted a settlement, I stupidly withdrew my charge believing I still could have my job back. I learned in 07/07 that the board ruled against me in 09/06 and CSX withheld that fact during the fact finding conference in 11/06. For that reason, I filed a charge of retaliation against them in 09/07 and have received the letter with right to sue from the eeoc. my first question to you states what I have done so far.
Thank you
