Re: Disqualified due to false references and possible discrimination

you may very well have a claim for retaliation either under federal or state statutes . . .

if you have more information a better analysis could be made . . . however there are very definite time limits within which you must make administrative claims to preserve your rights . . .

you could go to your local office of FEHA (Fair Employment in Housing) to file a claim which they will do at no charge . . . however there may be other causes of action about which only an attorney could advise you . . . Good luck to you . . . Patty Lewis . . . [email protected]
