Del Norte County recently received Federal funding through the state of California for storm related damages, to provide employment for under-employed or unemployed individuals that qualify.
Being recently laid off from a seasonal position at a roadside attraction in Klamath, Ca., I qualified for the program.
I applied for and interviewed for a position with a supervisor for the city managers of Crescent City (through the local workforce center) doing manual labor such as painting, clearing trails at state parks, operating a weed-eater...etc, any repair related needs that were done by storm damage.
My interview was successful and I was told I had a very good chance of joining the team.
One of my past jobs in Crescent City was with the local radio station, where I was employed for approximately 10 years. After witnessing some racist activity by some of the employee's at the station, I made management aware of the situation, to which the management simply took the side of the employees and I was fired as a result. ( the office employees treated Mexicans and Native Americans unfairly and with indifference)
I, in turn, filed a complaint with the Dept. of fair employment and housing for being fired for "whistleblowing" about the issue.
I believe I'm being blackballed by the radio station for my filing the complaint.
The radio station of this small town and the general manager, who is, (was) also a popular DJ has a long reach into the affairs that take place in Crescent City and I think somehow she has blocked (or coerced a City manager to exclude) my opportunity to utilize the Federal funding provided by the State of California because her personal dislike for my for having shed light on an issue that she did not want to be publicized.
It should also be pointed out that I have not yet gone through the background check process, suggesting the HR manager for the city, (who has excluded me from the job offer) has somehow been contacted by the radio station or someone that knows of my whistleblowing to the State.
In summary, there was no information of my past employment in the uptake process with the Del Norte workforce center and it is for that reason I believe something far more nefarious is at hand.
