In GA, your sole remedy is to collect unemployment, unless you can prove grounds for illegal discrimination. Not all discrimination is illegal. In GA, it is limited to your EEOC grounds: Race, age, sex, national origin, religion, handicap. If it is not on that list, it is not illegal.

You are protected from protected class discrimination but must file within 300 days of the date of the discriminatory action. Contact an attorney.
