- Description:
- Mrs. Elizabeth Reeder filed a complaint against the Indian Health Area Office in Oklahoma City for discrimination in their hiring policy. She believes she was unfairly terminated from a temporary assignment and is being unfairly treated in the hiring process. She suspects intertribal jealousies and nepotism are influencing the decisions. She requested a formal hearing on the matter but did not receive a satisfactory resolution. She believes her termination was based on unsatisfactory performance due to poor supervision. She also believes she is on a blacklist due to unfair practices.
