Thank you for the quick =
response.
Well...
In going over the history of =
documented=20
materials
it is a two part intimidation based =
discrimination...
Started before I was hired, =
continued with=20
intimidation after I was
hired, continued with intimidation =
after=20
numerous demands for it
to be stopped were literally =
refused,=20
then when I was interviewed by =
their attorney=20
and Mr. Martin about
Ms. Thompson's first written =
complaint I agreed=20
with the facts in that letter and
elaborated on the problems I was =
facing (with=20
both Martin and the attorney)
after that it became intimidation =
to stop me=20
from supporting her case
which resulted in my discharge =
since that=20
decision came from Mr. Martin
and in completion of the original =
intimidation=20
which was aimed at
getting me out before I hired an=20
African-American full time.
I have a phone message slip for a =
call from=20
another African-American
female looking for work. Denise =
Moseley=20
(receptionist) met her when she came to
the station to fill out the =
application for the=20
job (which was middays and was
officially open for interviews as I =
had a blind=20
published job ad for it in numerous
trade journals across the country) =
face=3DArial size=3D3>when Charlie Cohn stepped in and told her =
there=20
were 'no openings'. He would not =
let her fill=20
out even so much as an application.
I interviewed her later anyway and =
found she=20
did not have the experience to
qualify for the job but he had =
refused her=20
application.
I would rather get this over with =
and move on=20
with our lives so a settlement
would be a nice thing to get it =
over with BUT=20
if the way Martin has handled
this almost year old case up until =
now is any=20
indication it would appear
he will do the same negotiating =
tactics he=20
always uses which is to stall
and I won't stall any longer... I =
was stalled=20
by him throughout all of the complaints
about being intimidated in the =
station and out=20
by his ignoring the complaints.
So I'll toss it to your suggestion =
as to=20
whether to seek settlement or go to
court. I just want justice for all =
of the=20
intimidation and pain suffered during
this whole mess. I need what I am =
entitled to=20
for attempting to hire an African-
American female (Trish) full time =
after months=20
of her being treated like
a third class human by management.=20
If we do go to court it becomes =
public and I'm=20
sure the station does not
want that press =
coverage.
Thank you so much for your =
help.
