I would like to amend my ongoing complaint and allege that in a continuing pattern of discrimination based on my age and disability and in further retaliation for prior EEO activity. The following is a brief description of the protected activities I have participated in and have resulted in the following acts of retaliation, discrimination, violation of the rehab act, denial of a reasonable accommodation. And the creation of a hostile work environment based as well on my age. It is and was common knowledge that I have assisted by testimony, declaration or deposition in the ongoing complaints of Jim Tokos, Robbie Mcgowan Butler, Jay Dobyns, Phyllis Goins, John Taylor, Paul Jessen and others. Additionally I have formally and openly made allegations against SAC Martin, ASAC Gleysteen, DOO Lyster related to ethical, integrity and criminal acts. I have made these allegations openly and formally through the Internal affairs division the Office of the Inspector General and the Office of the Special Counsel.
During the month of April 2008 I formally accepted the third party buyout of my residence at a significant financial loss due to the retaliatory PCS move forced by ATF contrary to SAC Martins representation that my assignment to Dublin was temporary as evidenced by sworn testimony and witness statement. Toward the end of May 2008 my mortgage company Washington mutual began reporting to me that the third party company Prudential, was not communicating with them and providing them with the necessary information and was not returning their calls to close my house sale. During this time I had requested numerous rulings of relocation policy which were either ignored or delayed by Charles Brown or Richard Trent. I began to receive emails from relocation travel branch which were courtesy copied to Chief counsel employees. On or about June 1st 2008 without warning the legal offer to purchase my house was withdrawn by Prudential. The only explanation for this was “take it up with your agency”. This occurred after I made costly replacements and repairs as designated by Prudential to my residence. Repeated attempts to receive an explanation over the past few months have met with NO response either from travel relocation or the Ombudsman’s office. It is unlawful and obvious retaliation use of the relocation or PCS system for punitive purposes. The agency has directed Prudential to take this action outside of the Bureaus written policies or the government’s relocation procedures.
Additionally, I was denied standard and customary packing transfer and storage of my household goods for weeks after my request to the third party contractor. I was advised that the agency had not authorized the transfer and storage of my household goods. When I questioned this oversight and obvious hostile act in further retaliation perpetrated through the relocation office, Charles Brown advised I needed to create a memo advising where I anticipated living and where I anticipated storing my household goods. I advised I had no earthly idea since the contract to sell my house was voided at ATF direction. Mr. Brown continued to insist on a memo, which I could not provide without a crystal ball. This disparate treatment is not required of any other PCS transfer and was designed to cause me physical emotional and financial harm. Ultimately when I confronted the unlawful acts repeatedly, I received notice my household goods shipping had been approved.
Please amend my pending complaint in the ATF EEOC process to include these allegations.
Respectfully submitted,
