CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE ME

[Anonymous <no_email@fake.address>]

I WORKED FOR A COMPANY IN SYRACUSE, NY FOR 3 YEARS.  I STARTED AS A TEMP. IT STARTED OUT AS 20 HOURS AND KEPT GOING UP IN HOURS.  I WAS FORCED BY MY SUPERVISOR TO GO FULL TIME 40 HOURS OR SHE WOULD REPLACE ME.  I WENT FULL TIME BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE MY JOB.
 
I WAS SUBJECTED TO DIRTY JOKES AND CALLED A BLONDE BOMB SHELL MY THE OWNER OF THE CO. AND WOMEN WERE REFERRED TO AS DUMP BROADS.  THE ATMOSPHER WAS VERY HOSTILE AND OFFENSIVE.

I WAS SUBJECTED TO UNPREDICABLE SUPERVISION BY MY BOSS AND NOT EVEN ALLOWED TO LEAVE MY DESK TO GO TO THE BATHROOM. SHE WAS NOT CLEAR IN HER DIRECTIVES AND HOVERED OVER ME AND MY WORK.  

I NEVER RECEIVED A REVIEW OR EVALUATION AT ANY TIME EVEN THOUGH THE POLICY IS FOR YEARLY REVIEWS NORMALLY TIED ON TO A MERIT INCREASE.

MY SUPERVISOR ASKED ABOUT MY HEALTH STATUS, SPECIFCALLY ABOUT MY BLOOD PRESSURE, MEDICATION, AND MY BACK PROBLEMS.

I PHONED INTO MY EMPLOYER 4/29/98 THAT I WOULD BE OUT ILL AS I HAD MANY OTHER TIMES AND AS ALL OTHER EMPLOYEES DO.
I RETURNED TO WORK THE NEXT DAY AND SHE HAD PACKED ALL MY THINGS AND FIRED ME BECAUSE I DID NOT CALL HER AT HOME.
I WAS DINIED UNEMPLOYMENT BECAUSE OF MISCONDUCT. I DID NOT ABUSE MY SICK TIME AND HAD ADDITIONAL PAID SICK TIME COMING. 

THIS COMPANY IS MOSTLY MEN.  I'M A WOMAN OF 50.

I WAS DENIED UNEMPLOYMENT BECAUSE OF MISCONDUCT. I APPEALED IT AND LOST. I WAS UNABLE TO PRESENT THE CASE MYSELF AND I COULD NOT FIND A LAWYER THAT WOULD REPRESENT ME BECAUSE THERE IS NO MONEY IN IT.  THEY HAD A VERY GOOD LAWYER THAT JUST TWISTED EVERYTHING.  

I NOW HAVE A HUMAN RIGHTS CASE PENDING AND I STILL CAN'T FIND ANYONE TO HELP ME.  I AM SO UPSET AND I KNOW I CAN'T PRESENT THE ISSUES WELL ENOUGH, WHEN I GET IN THERE I JUST CAN'T SPEAK I WILL BE INTIMATED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE COMPANY.

I HAVE SUFFERED FINACIAL LOSS, PAIN AND MENTAL ANGUISH.

IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE ADVISE ME.
