NT Wiseguy... I appreciate your prompt response and did read post 6188. This post tells me what I already know. I can file either an EEO or MSPB but not both. Which would be the advantage of proceeding in each forum. Years ago employees had a better chance in MSPB because the win rate in EEO is about one out of a hundred.(1%) Lately it seems the sucess rate in MSPB has not been as great either as it used to be.
