Filing Complaints

Filing a complaintEmployees who experience retaliation for their union activity can file an Improper Practice charge.

Allegations of other types of discrimination are appropriately addressed by filing complaints with the NYS Division of Human Rights (DHR) or the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Use either of these resources rather than the contract grievance process.

You may want to consult a private attorney in matters involving allegations of discrimination.

You can read more about filing a discrimination complaint on the DHR Website and/or the EEOC Website.
