Heading: Iowa Civil Rights Act.

Text: The Iowa Civil Rights Act is found at chapter 601A of the Iowa Code. Section 601A.6 prohibits employers and labor organizations from discriminating against employees and union members on the basis of age, race, creed, color, sex, national origin, religion or disability. Of more specific importance to this case, section 601A.11(2) makes it an unfair or discriminatory practice to discriminate against another person because such person has filed a complaint under chapter 601A. Finally, section 601A.16(1) provides that the administrative procedures established by chapter 601A are the exclusive means for asserting claims under that chapter. Lynch v. City of Des Moines, 454 N.W.2d 827, 831 n. 2 (Iowa 1990).
