In its October 16, 2014, decision in Complainant v. Department of the Air Force, EEOC Appeal No. 0120141465, the EEOC’s Office of Federal Operations found that the Agency breached its December 4, 2013, settlement agreement with the complainant, and reversed the Agency’s Final Agency Decision (FAD) on the matter.

The complainant was represented by P&K founding principal Joseph V. [nap_names id=”FIRM-NAME-4″]
