I am a self-employed, disabled automotive technician running a one bay repair shop in the city in which I live. I have been in business for almost two years now and ever since day one, have had my previous employer try everything he could to keep me from being independent. I have all my license and permits needed to run my business, and have worked with the city since day one with my business goals. Now the city is applying pressure to me and is enforcing unreasonable rules against me because of accusations and information provided to them from my previous employer. I feel like I¿m being harassed and possibly discriminated against and don¿t feel like being pushed out of business. What should I do?
This sounds like tough competition, not harassment or discrimination. There is no evidence in your inquiry suggesting that the basis of your former employer's actions is some kind of animus toward disabled persons.
