For those who may have comparable issues and require
the assistance of an employment law attorney, here is
the NELA (National Employment Lawyers Association site
to query for an attorney in your area:

Depending upon the circumstances, a grievance filing
with the EEOC may be required.  The key thing to
remember in any such action is that it takes time.

In most instances, one needs to have "exhausted
administrative remedy".  That means you have to make
sure you have taken your organizations steps to grieve
a situation.  If you jump from being aggrieved to
filing in court or with the EEOC, it is oft looked
upon unfavorably with the courts.  The onus is on you
to (as well as your employer) to attempt to work it
out.

It's important to note that there is a time limit to
file with the EEOC.  Some of that is explained here:

Directions for filing a grievance can be found on the
EEOC's main page (left side, half way down).
