This goes beyond the initial hiring violation by a federal agency. There is a systemic problem with DOL-VETS. And even worse DOL-OIG (who is suppose to be "policing" the other DOL departments).
I've been in contact with other veterans (outside of my case) who have also reported that their...
Posting for those others who may have a problem with federal agencies.
You CAN sue the government for failure to follow their own rules and regulations. Just because someone doesn't want to do something doesn't mean there is nothing that can be done.
Consider the following legal decisions...
Any advice?
Do I have any other options besides going to a lawsuit?
Is there any way I can get the contact information for the other veterans who were also screwed over on the hiring list? To see if we would want to do a class action suit? Would that even be best? Or seperate suits by all...
Ah! Ok here goes.
Far warning though - you asked for this much information. :)
I'll break this down into a time format. Might be more digestable that way.
July 16th, 2007 - Job was posted in the local classified ads. Directed you to go to a website and apply if you were interested...
The agency violated the rules for veterans preference in federal hiring. Then lied to the DOL-VETs investigator to cover that violation up.
I'm not sure what your asking I guess. Are you asking what specific rule was violated?
5 U.S.C. 3309, 3313 and 5 CFR 332.401 and 337.101...
The letter is not mine. It is from the agency CO to the DOL-VETs investigator. In response to the investigator's inquiry during his investigation.
In it he says "No one with my same score or lower was hired." However the hiring list I also sent shows differently. Also he tells the...
I have a few documents that show the CO of this agency lied to the DOL-VETs investigator. In order to cover up this violation. I've shown these same documents to Senator Bayh. Which prompted him to send a letter to DOL-VETs asking them about the investigation. It's been over 3 months since that...
I'm seeking legal help/advice with an employment situation.The agency in question has lied to the Department of Labor, during their investigation, to cover up a hiring violation. The Deptartment of Labor is refusing to do anything about it. Even after I've shown them documents that clearly show...
Sorry CBG,
Just looking for other input/trying to reach more people. Didn't know the posters in this forum, were pretty much the same people as the other one .(they are different URLs)
Doesn't matter if I like/dislike oppinions given. That's what I'm here for!
Here is something I recently encountered.
I applied for a "Explosives Handler WS-5" position back in July, 2007. I had also told an old army buddy about it, and he applied as well. Both of us get refered to the selecting agent. And then neither of us heard anything till November. That's when...
Greetings,
I live in Indiana. Back in July, of this year, the local Navy base posted a job opening for explosive handlers, in our local paper. I applied for the position. Also I told a good friend about it. He was living in St. Louis at the time. He also applied for the position. Neither...
