I wish to pursue this matter in court. I hereby request that the Department of Fair Employment and Housing provide a right to sue. I understand that if I want a federal right to sue notice, I must visit the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to file a complaint within 30 days of receipt of the DFEH "Notice of Case Closure and Right to Sue," or within 300 days of the alleged discriminatory act, whichever is earlier. I have not been coerced into making this request, nor do I make it based on fear of retaliation if I do not do so. I understand it is the Department of Fair Employment and Housing's policy to not process or reopen a complaint once the complaint has been closed on the basis of "Immediate Right to Sue." By submitting this complaint, I am declaring under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that, to the best of my knowledge, all information contained in this complaint is true and correct, except matters stated on my information and belief, and I declare that those matters I believe to be true.

EMPLOYMENT

COMPLAINT OF DISCRIMINATION UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA FAIR EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING ACT

I ALLEGE THAT I EXPERIENCED: Discrimination, Harassment, Retaliation ON OR BEFORE: Aug 29, 2012 BECAUSE OF MY ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED: Association with a member of a protected class, Engagement in Protected Activity, Other retaliation, discrimination, and harassment for my opposition and active attempts to stop discrimination, harassment, and retaliation

AS A RESULT, I WAS:

Demoted, Denied a work environment free of discrimination and/or retaliation, Denied employment, Denied equal pay, Denied or forced to transfer, Denied reinstatement, Other harassed

STATE WHAT YOU BELIEVE TO BE THE REASON(S) FOR DISCRIMINATION:

After becoming aware of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation against another employee in the workplace, and after my attempts to stop, correct, and report the wrongful conduct by my superiors, I was subjected to retaliation, discrimination, and harassment by my superiors [employer]. I also complained of retaliation and discrimination after my superiors initiated and served me with false and inaccurate documentation setting forth adverse employment actions and actions disciplinary in nature. Also as a result of my opposition to discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, my superiors singled me out for adverse employment actions which were also discriminatory, retaliatory, and disciplinary in nature. I have been demoted two substantial levels and transferred against my will without cause. I have and will continue to lose substantial financial damages and extensive damage to my standing and reputation in my workplace. I have been treated unfairly and singled out for adverse employment actions and the discriminatory and retaliatory treatment because of my opposition to my employers discriminatory, harassing, and retaliatory conduct against another employee. Further, I have been singled out for such action by my employer in such a manner that is inconsistent with my employers past practices.
