Exclamation Racial Discrimination/Harassment

Supervisor was instructed to train and instruct me in learning my position, ordered from the VP of the company....she refused to do so..I was not properly trained for my position, later found out that supervisor had history of complaints against her from other Black employees who quit or got fired. I was totally frustrated after going to her several times and asking for assistance and thats when my co-worker who was training me went and spoke to the VP on my behalf, explaining that we were being ignored and that my position called for more 1 to 2 more people. I was later told by my white co-worker that she and other white woman(in addition to 2 other Supervisors) were regularly summoned into Sup's office where she described us as "Niggers" etc, nothing was done to manager until this same employee spoke to and wrote a detailed letter to the VP as to what used to go on in her office. My co-worker who trained me transferred to another dept. because of the discrimination she encountered. 3 women in Supervisory roles were the main players in this; my previous Sup was fired based upon what my white co-worker had told the VP...a lesser sup involved in the office meetings was fired and the last woman is now directly attacking 2 co-workers and myself. She has set us up to look incompentent, lied to the VP about work I had already completed. I proved that she was lying via my documentation in emails and work...nothing was done until my recent sup caught her lying to the VP about a meeting she sat in with so that we didnt have to encounter being lied on...within the last week and a half. I believe she may have been written up....another co-worker called me a "Nigger in spanish and he was fired...there was a rush "Diversity Training" that was a joke....if this is not discrimination I don't know what is. THe woman who wrote the letter to the VP abount the discrimination has agreed to cooperate and told me that she will do whatever is necessary to help. Another coworker of mine put her case on here also a couple of days ago and we intend to file suit separately. Now listen, I have family members that work for the Federal Gov't and they say this is a no brainer. I don't have the money to spend for an initial consult...but I there are so many instances of discrimination/harassment that I don't think that I need to pay up front. My co-worker and I are going to go file with the EEOC in the next week or so; and based upon my research and understanding the company should settle the the suit based uoon that they have documented so much of the discrimination/harassment and the evidence is so damning. I have endured and they have only swept this under the carpet. Please advise.

What do you need advice about? It seems as though you have everything in motion. I cannot think of a better venue than the EEOC. No one here can give you any better advice than that. Once the EEOC makes a determination, you will have ( or will not have, as the case may be) better legal footing.
