I was fired for "not making my sales goals". There were men working for the company who were not fired and they had less sales. Also I am not exactly sure what to ask the company to do at mediation. How much money? Can I ask that a certain individual be fired? Can I ask them to hold training on discrimination for there employees?

I think you should go for an attorney. Now what should you ask for? Well, answer is very simple , ask them the salary for one month or any precise time period for firing you without proper 'intimidation' and then also ask for compensation for the inconvenience caused to you by this action(psychological, financial etc.)
I don know how you should exactly go about because i don' t know what is the law in your country as you haven't specified in which country you are but still, in most countries one can ask for at least the above damages, and rest is that you must consult your attorney because much of your grievance would be based on the 'terms and conditions' of the contract you entered with your employer and in the end you must fight for your right because most of laws are employee friendly in the world today.

Yes, yes and yes. A lawyer can answer all the questions u posted and give u some idea of what u should ask for in compensation and what things u should and shouldn't say at mediation. I'm sure they will most certainly have at least one or two attorneys on the other side. You will get massacred if u don't bring council.
I was going to say at least consult w/ an attorney, but that's wrong, you need a lawyer by you're side. He'll help to make sure you get everything you should and it will make things easier for the mediator (always a good idea). GL

If you would like to have one with you make sure they are specialized in Labor Law and have experience in E.E.O.C. filings. As far as what you can ask for at the E.E.O.C. you can not ask for any kind of settlement - financial or personal. The purpose of the E.E.O.C. is to investigate your claims for merit, determine if there is cause. If the E.E.O.C. finds in your favor then they send you what is called a "Right to sue" letter. In that letter they will indicate that they found merit to your claims and that if you chose to pursue the matter in a civil hearing they may provide you with support and join in your suit. They are not a court and do not give out sentences or penalties (such as lost wages, etc.).

It sounds like a losing battle to me. You are going against an attorney, without one of your own, in a quasi-legal forum. You are taking an attorney on, in his area of expertise.
Firing you for not making sales goals sounds like a legitimate reason. In order to prevail, you would have to show discrimination.
Your only claim would be for wages anticipated but not earned. And you would have to show you cannot get another job that pays a similar salary.
