Comments on: Obama Talks Poverty and Farm Bill in Hampton, Manchester http://www.one.org/blog/2007/07/23/obama-talks-poverty-and-farm-bill-in-hampton-manchester/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:05:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: beyced http://www.one.org/blog/2007/07/23/obama-talks-poverty-and-farm-bill-in-hampton-manchester/#comment-520563 beyced Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-520563 I work at the department of Agriculture Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights which handle the Black Farmer complaints. Under the directions of Sadhna True, no Black Farmer complaints has been resolved. Under her management she put a freeze on working on the cases. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was to ensure that all have equal rights. The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights in the United States Department of Agriculture is an office delegated to enforce civil rights laws for the Department. There have been numerous public writings about how Black Farmers were treated by USDA and how their civil rights complaint processing within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights has been mishandled. What is not known by the public is how the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights mistreats their own employees. Employees are mistreated so badly that some have been hospitalized for stress, fired, and treated without dignity and respect. If these employees are mistreated, you can imagine how it impacts the processing of Black farmers civil rights complaints and employee complaints. For that very reason a total of 60 minority employees since 2004 to present have either been terminated or forced into retirement or detailed to other agencies or lateral to new positions in other agencies. No one has ever gotten to a root cause analysis of why Civil Rights management at United States Department of Agriculture Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights is so dysfunctional. Something MUST be done about management within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights or else taxpayers will continue to make enormous settlement payments for civil rights violations as in the Black Farmers Class Action Lawsuit and these employees will continue to be violated.
