If you belong to a union, you may want to file a formal complaint through the union and try to get a shop steward or other union official to help you work through the grievance process. If you are a federal employee, follow federal guidelines on how to lodge a discrimination complaint. Call a legal organization like Equal Rights Advocates or a lawyer to find out what you need to do and when. Under federal law in other states, you may have only 180 days to file a complaint. It is important to check with the EEOC or a legal organization to find the time limits.
