If I supported a union unsucessfully last year and now I’m now being harrased at work, can I file a claim with the EEOC or someone else?
I am being accused of things that I have no control over (i.e. i was written up for not working when my PC was broken and my supervisor was aware of this). I’m being speed tested weekly even though my numbers are in line with other employees. Also, I’ve been placed on 60 day probation at the end of which I will be termitated if I don’t fix these and may other imaginary complaints.

If you supported unionization of your work place and are now being harassed as a result as stated in what you have written, you need to do the following:
1. have a meeting with human resources and your supervisor as to what is happening with respect to you;
2. consult with an employment attorney;
3. consult with your local department of labor as to what is happening in the workplace;
4. do the same with your local EE0C office.
