Did you submit a new claim?
Thank you
Why were you demoted?
You may have an avenue to pursue this matter. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects individuals 40 and over from workplace discrimination. Additionally, you may have a valid complaint based on retaliation for your workplace injury reporting. In either of these situations, you will need the assistance of an attorney to file suit. As to the ADEA issue, if you feel you were discriminated against due to your age in the demotion, you may file an EEOC complaint by following the directions at: http://www.eeoc.gov/charge/overview_charge_filing.html
