Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Employer's Name], I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of utmost concern regarding my recent termination from my position at [Company Name]. It has come to my attention that I may have been wrongfully discharged based on discriminatory reasons, in clear violation of the employment laws in the state of Texas. I implore you to carefully consider the contents of this letter and take appropriate action to rectify this unjust termination. As an employee who has been dedicated to [Company Name] for [duration of employment], I have always strived to fulfill my duties and responsibilities to the best of my abilities. However, I believe that my dismissal was a direct result of discrimination on the basis of [protected characteristic(s)]. Under the Texas Labor Code, it is illegal to discriminate against an employee on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, or genetic information. I firmly believe that my termination was based on one or more of these protected characteristics. The discriminatory actions and decisions made by [supervisor/manager's name] are evident through a series of incidents that occurred leading up to my dismissal. Firstly, I was subjected to derogatory remarks and offensive comments by certain colleagues, which were ignored and even encouraged by my supervisor. Despite reporting these incidents to the HR department, no action was taken to address the hostile work environment or discipline the individuals involved. Instead, I became the target of even more mistreatment, resulting in an unbearable working environment. Additionally, I received consistently positive performance reviews throughout my tenure at [Company Name]. It is noteworthy that my dismissal occurred abruptly, following a recent complaint I made about discriminatory treatment and a request for accommodation based on my disability. It is evident that my termination was retaliatory and meant to silence my legitimate concerns about the discrimination I faced. In light of the aforementioned facts, I urge you to take immediate action to rectify this wrongful discharge. I kindly request the following remedies to address the injustice I have faced: 1. Reinstatement to my previous position at [Company Name] or a comparable position with similar benefits and privileges. 2. Compensation for all lost wages, benefits, bonuses, and other financial rewards that I would have received had the wrongful termination not occurred. 3. Full coverage of any legal fees and expenses incurred as a result of pursuing this matter. 4. Implementation of comprehensive anti-discrimination policies and mandatory training for all employees to prevent future incidents of discrimination. 5. Assurance that appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken against those responsible for creating a hostile work environment and allowing discrimination to persist. I believe that by addressing this issue promptly and effectively, [Company Name] can demonstrate its commitment to fair and equal employment practices as required by Texas state law. Failure to take appropriate action will leave me no choice but to file a formal complaint with the appropriate state and federal agencies, and pursue my legal rights to seek redress for the discrimination I have endured. I trust that you will give this matter the attention it deserves and look forward to a prompt response to discuss next steps. Thank you for your immediate attention to this grave matter. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Contact Information]
