I'm a a 65-year-old former Federal employee who had filed an EEO Complaint against my employer for unfair practices in 2010. My contract with a US Army language school was not renewed, as it had been for the previous sixteen years, because of a visual disability (cataracts), and a serious medical condition (ruptured esophagus) that necessitated my hospitalization for nine days (and a recuperation for three weeks afterwards). The agency, however, did not state that reason. Instead they cited "lack of work" and "reduction of work force" as the reason for termination. As it turned out, I was the only one terminated in my school, despite the fact that I am the one with the longest service (17 years), the highest academic degree (Ph.D.), and the best student evaluation. Isn't this considered discrimination on the bases of physical disability, age, and reprisal?
