Each agency has its own rules, you will need to follow the rules of your agency. In general each federal agency has what is called an "eeo officer" that is an employee of the agency, usually through HR, who will investigate complaints of discrimination. In most agencies your first step would be to speak with that person and to initiate a grievance there. Usually a federal employee does not need an attorney for this internal investigation.
There are attorneys who represent government employees in employment issues. Some agencies restrict who can represent the employees, so my suggestion is that you find an attorney who is licensed in the state you work in.
Again each agency has its own rules and there are lots of them that the employee needs to follow when filing a grievance. While your union may be able to assist, you also need to do your own homework on this. |

Have you talked to your union rep? If they don't feel you were wronged and won't go to bat for you, it's pretty unlikely that you have a case that you can win. |

If you are disciplined - you need to talk to your union representative immediately and file a grievance. If you were disciplined for law enforcement related cases and there is a potential for a criminal/civil matter pending against you -- you as a federal law enforcement agent should have an professional liability attorney for some sort available to you through your professional liability insurance agency. If you were disciplined for actions relating to union activities - you need to contact the NLRB (depending on which federal law enforcement agency you work with) or have a labor attorney do so on your behalf. A general labor and employment attorney should be able to help you --- However, an attorney specializing in law enforcement related issues will be better suited for your questions. Ask your union or local bar (attorney) association for a recommendation. |

If you were really in federal law and in a union you'd know the answer and the procedure. |
