From the time that both Lonnie Bedell and myself filed charges with the eeoc we have requested assistance from our State Senator, Bill Bradley along with the Chairmen, Augustus Hawkins, Matthew Martinez, Carl Perkins and Major Owens.

August 1987 I retained private counsel to work with the eeoc on my above charges. My legal fees continually mounted and there was no resolution of these cases at the eeoc, as they just dragged on. I had no choice but to end the retainer with my lawyer, after paying her close to in legal fees.
July 14, 1988 a bogus fact finding hearing was to be held in Newark regarding my yfs case. Yellow Freight just complied with the law by coming into the hearing. The lawyer for Yellow wanted to tape record the hearing, if he could not have that then he wanted acourt stenographer all of which he was denied by the eeoc. The fact finding conference was canceled.
