I have been in the Army National Guard for the past 18 years and at my current civilian job for about 11 years. In the last few years, I have experienced what I believe to be discrimination based on job assignments and promotability due to the fact that I was away on a military deployment and various (shorter) military assignments over the years. Since then, I have watched other less-qualified people get assignments and promotion points over me, and despite continued requests, I am kept where I am and where I have been for the past 11 years... A supervisor told me "off the record" that it was because administration doesn't know when I might leave again due to my military obligations. This seems to be a clear violation of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) in addition to the California Military and Veterans Code. However, I have no proof. Beyond going to my union, I am not sure what my options might be...

Not yet so far but it helps my employers all have some sort of military connection or are veterans.

I'm sorry that this has been happening to you sir and it's unwarranted. You should talk to your Union about this.
