Denied the opportunity to be rehired due to religion

[Guest]

Worked for the school district for over 20 years as a secretary for 4 different directors and was participating in T-DROP when the 5th director came on board. The ATRS has 2 plans: T-DROP (while you are still employed) and the 2nd was to retire, wait for one full month, then return to district receiving pay while receiving your teachers retirement as well. Waiting a full month and applying for a position, it came to my attention that my presence was not wanted on that floor nor in that building.

There are 3 questions of concern:
Can this discrimination be due to religion because before retiring, the comment was made, "this religious stuff has got to go."

And at the end of this month of June will be 4 years ago when this took place. Although there was no way to get back in the district because of being 'blackballed,' what is the statue of limitations in reference to this situation?

First off you would have to prove discrimination due to religion. Second the SOL has way elapsed anyway. (The complaint must be filed with the EEOC within 300 days of the alleged incident in states that have an antidiscrimination law & in states without an antidiscrimination law, the complaint must be filed within 180 days of the incident.)

If you were in a union, you could have taken it to your union rep. at that time for assistance.

And even if the SOL had not expired, you don't have anything like enough to support a claim of religious discrimination unless you've got a LOT more evidence than you provided here.

By the way, even if someone (or hundreds of someones) said that and worse, you'd have to PROVE they said it.
You can't just say XXX said blah blah blah. XXX will simply deny they said anything negative.
