Asked on Sep 23rd, 2013 on Labor and Employment - Virginia
More details to this question:
I contracted for this agency for 14 years and my company for 6 years. My position was site supervisor, I witness a male project manager come in and get rid of 4 woman (myself being one of the woman). which I fill he did not have just cause. We filed compaints on several occasions prior, in which I feel were dismissed. I feel like he conspired with one of the managers at the federal agency to have woman removed, exspecially woman in management. I feel that we (the woman) were sexual harrassed, discriminated agains because we are woman, bullied and retaliated against.

You can certainly file a charge of discrimination, and retaliation for your prior internal complaints, against both the company and the Federal Agency involved. The complaint against the government, however, must be filed first with that Agency's EEO counselor within 45 days of your termination. The charge against the company might need to be filed with this same EEO counselor, or with the EEOC. There should be a web site for the Federal agency in question, or postings at the place where you worked that state where and how you can contact the EEO counselor
