Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Designation] [Company Name] [Company Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Wrongful Discharge and Employment Discrimination Complaint Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today to express my utmost concerns regarding my recent termination from [Company Name] on [Date of Termination]. It is with great regret that I must inform you that I strongly believe this decision was a result of employment discrimination and represents a wrongful discharge, in violation of my employment rights under Minnesota state law. I wish to provide a detailed account of the events leading up to and following my termination. I started working at [Company Name] on [Date of Employment] in the capacity of [Your Position]. Throughout my tenure, I consistently exhibited dedication, professionalism, and met or exceeded all performance expectations. However, I started sensing a change in the workplace environment after I informed my supervisor, [Supervisor's Name], about my gender reassignment journey on [Date]. Despite the fact that this disclosure should have had no bearing on my professional capabilities, I noticed a significant shift in attitudes towards me. In the following weeks, I experienced an alarming increase in unwarranted scrutiny, derogatory comments, and unfounded allegations of incompetence. On [Date], I received a written warning that cited subpar performance, which I strongly believe was unwarranted and entirely disproportionate to my actual performance. I immediately tried to address these concerns with [Supervisor's Name] and other members of management, but my complaints were met with indifference or dismissed entirely. Furthermore, on [Date], I was called into [Supervisor's Name]'s office and informed that my employment with [Company Name] was being terminated due to the alleged performance issues mentioned in the written warning. This termination came as a complete shock to me, considering my years of dedicated service and the unrelenting bias I had experienced in recent months. Upon deeper reflection and consultation with legal professionals and employee advocacy groups, it is clear that my termination was an act of employment discrimination and a clear violation of my rights as per the Minnesota Human Rights Act. In accordance with the law, I insist on a thorough investigation into this matter and a just resolution. To rectify this wrongful discharge, I am requesting the following actions: 1. An immediate revocation of my termination, reinstating me to my previous position or an equivalent one. 2. A public apology from [Company Name] for the discriminatory treatment I have endured. 3. Compensation for the emotional distress, damages to my professional reputation, and lost wages associated with this wrongful discharge. 4. Implementation of comprehensive anti-discrimination training, educational programs, and policies at [Company Name] to prevent future instances of employment discrimination. I would appreciate a written response from you within [time frame, typically 14 days] acknowledging the receipt of this letter and outlining the actions that [Company Name] intends to take in response to my complaint. Should we fail to find a satisfactory resolution through this communication, I may be forced to seek redress through legal channels. I trust that [Company Name] acknowledges the importance of a diverse and inclusive workplace and takes these allegations of employment discrimination and wrongful discharge seriously. I remain hopeful for a swift and fair resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this serious issue. Sincerely, [Your Name]
