NON-RETALIATION REQUIREMENTS

Section 704(a) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, (as amended), Section 4 (d) of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, (as amended), and various other civil rights laws make it an unlawful employment practice for an employer; employment agency; or labor organization: to discriminate against employees, applicants for employment, member or applicant for membership, because the employee, member or applicant has opposed an unlawful employment practice, made a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding or hearing.

Important Notice
Please be advised that filing a discrimination complaint with the NAACP does not mean that the NAACP will be representing you in any legal matter.  If you believe you have a discrimination claim, you must file a claim with the appropriate State or Federal agency in a timely manner.  Failure to do so may prevent you from pursuing a claim in a court of law.

COMPLETION OF THIS FORM

Completing this form does NOT constitute filing an official complaint with a legal authority.  At this time the NACP Pasadena Branch is ONLY seeking information to assist you concerning this complaint.
