A West coast compliance investigator won a favorable EEO complaint (Administrative Law Judge Decision) in 1992, based on disparate treatment (based on race), denial of training and denial of promotion. ATF responded with '' SHE WOULD NEVER GET PROMOTED" It has been 18 years and she has not been promoted. ATF managers were true to their word. This in spite of the fact that, she successfully completed NPT training in 2004 as the class president, all other investigators in her class have a present grade of GS-12 or GS-13.
In 2003/2004 she filed an EEO for reprisal, denial of a promotion, reasonable accommodations under the ADA and a hostile work environment that included the use of the "N" word by a superior in order to "keep her in her place". ATF ignored her pleas. Her performance appraisals went from fully satisfactory/exceeding fully satisfactory to unacceptable in a 6 month period. She attempted to resolve this matter with the Special Agent in Charge, notified Internal Affairs and the Ombudsmen office. I was ultimately forced to seek the protections of the EEOC and I was still ignored. In May 2006 I was terminated and tracked down by armed Agents to escort me from the building. She prevailed with a favorable decision in 2007 for wrongful termination. ATF was ordered to reinstate her pay and restore her annual and sick leave for the year. ATF has not restored her leave and she has requested a breakdown of the actual pay which was entered into my bank account and has continue to be ignored.
She filed an EEO in 2007 for denial of her promotions (reprisal), a hostile work environment and reasonable accommodations as part of a class action complaint filed by multiple employees in the SFFD. At the present she has not heard from the ATF EEO managers.
