I was forced to quite my job in August because of workplace harrassment due to my transgender status. The employer did nothing about it when I complained to him.
Recently I applied for unemployment (actually at the beginning of October was when I filed.
I just received a document saying my claim was denied because "you quit job to move." This tells me they lied to the state's labor board about the reasons I quit.
I can appeal but that involves a three way hearing and I am waiting to see if one of my former coworkers would be willing to testify for me.
Meantime, I checked the state's (Texas) discrimination complaint site, they have a 45 statute of limitations after which you are not even allowed to file a lawsuit. I went to the federal EEOC site and they said because the event happened in Texas I am outside the statute of limitations which means I am up shit creek.
The business is City Cafe and it is located in Elgin Texas. It owned by the Austin Diner which is located in Austin Texas.
