Californias' EEOC

[M L Miller <no_email@fake.address>]

Is this a pervasive problem with the EEOC?  Is anyone else having problems too?  
Are FEH filings any better?  
A former coworker and I have also had problems with the EEOC.  Our experience 
is with the Oakland, CA office.  Also May of 1995 the EEOC representative, 
Mr. O'Kello, refused to let either one of us make an appointment or file a 
complaint.  An attorney we both were referred to via the Bar Association 
(big mistake) made EEOC appointments for us.  I have no further information on 
the other parties' interaction with the EEOC.  But, there have been problems 
with the way my complaint was completed by the representative.  Important 
information was left out the complaint to "protect my privacy".  So now the 
attorneys for the defense are saying I lied on my complaint.  One more stupid 
accusation I have to hear again and again and again. 
Also, I don't understand why the EEOC had my human resources department conduct 
all of the interviews.  I did not go the HR initially because they reported to the 
VP, who participated in and sanctioned my manager permission to harass me without 
fear of repercussion.   

The Bar Association as well as the attorney represented his qualifications as 
having expertise in the area of Sexual Harassment Law.  This was not evident in the 
way my coworkers or my case were handled.  In fact it seemed like he was working for the 
defense instead of the prosecution.  We both fired him.  I now need to file a 
legal malpractice suite against this so-called expert.  I strongly suggest 
referencing the Martindale-Hubble Index, which lists attorneys by area, their 
education, qualifications, publications, etc..  My current attorney in San Francisco 
suggested this.
