Re: Gender wage and med leave discrimination

This sounds like a pretty knotty issue. It sounds as though there are a number of concerns and you probably need legal assistance. You should probably contact legal help quickly. You need someone who handles employment law matters. If you have difficulty locating someone, you can call the Missouri Bar in Jefferson City and they can give you the name of a good attorney in this area.
