I've had an EEOC case filed for almost 3 yrs now for disability discrimination. They still have not determined whether it will be investigated.
The first investigator assigned just yelled at me and didn't understand anything I was saying.
I complained, and the Acting DIrector called. He listened, but then forgot about me, twice. I couldn't get them to contact me again. I complained to the main office, and the Actg. Director called me again. Now he is so sweet and says I have a good case.
It's a complicated case, but it seems like that is what they do and it wouldn't be so hard for them to comprehend.
We're now down to the final gathering of information, and the EEOC man 'just' realized that I work for the state, and said he only handles Federal cases. After all this time needed to comprehend the facts, he's going to have to turn this over to someone else!
I called a few attys, they said you don't usually get an atty until the EEOC decides whether or not to file. True?

You should get an attorney. If the EEOC does not issue a ruling within a set time, I would have to check but I believe it is 90 days, you can request a right to sue letter. Many attorneys believe that a right to sue letter is better than a negative determination by the EEOC. In your case, it sounds like you are not going to get the result you want from the EEOC. You need to consult an employment attorney as soon as possible.

Sounds like a confusing situation. But it is true that if you are wishing to hire your own attorney than usually you can not get an attorney to take the case until the EEOC has concluded its investigations and made sometype of finding.
EEOC are the policing arm of the federal labor laws.

I was under the opinion that all Title 18 cases must be answered within 90 days...All EEOC cases are monitored by the Federal Gov't. You might want to contact the local branch of the U.S. Attorney's Office for further guidance.

The attorney is right, you have to wait and see what EEOC decides first.
