Otolose Vea,
Plaintiff,
v.
American Airlines, Inc., and
Transport Workers Union of America Local 514,
Defendants.
Civil Action No.: _______________________
(To be assigned by the Court)
STATEMENT OF FACTS AND TIMELINE
Plaintiff Otolose Vea submits the following summary of facts and timeline describing the events that led to this lawsuit.
Employment History
Plaintiff worked for American Airlines for more than twenty-eight years as a Maintenance Facility Mechanic. During her career, Plaintiff was known as a dedicated employee who took pride in her work.
Plaintiff transferred from the Dallas–Fort Worth facility to the Tulsa Maintenance Base in July 2017.
Shortly after the transfer, Plaintiff began experiencing workplace harassment, increased scrutiny, and questioning related to her medical condition.
2018 – Workplace Harassment Begins
In 2018, management and coworkers began questioning Plaintiff regarding her restroom usage and physical condition.
Plaintiff was asked to verify whether she was handicapped in order to use parking accommodations. Plaintiff was also questioned regarding the frequency of her restroom use despite having medical conditions that required frequent restroom access.
Plaintiff began to feel that she was being monitored and singled out.
2019 – Restroom Restrictions and Monitoring
In or around 2019, Plaintiff was told she could not use certain restroom facilities. These statements caused embarrassment and emotional distress.
At various times Plaintiff was told that restroom use was restricted or questioned when a union representative was present, despite no written rule in the American Airlines policy or the TWU Local 514 collective bargaining agreement prohibiting restroom use.
2020 – Continued Monitoring
The monitoring of Plaintiff's activities continued, including questioning regarding breaks and restroom use.
The situation caused increasing stress and anxiety for Plaintiff.
April 2024 – Family Caregiver Support
Due to Plaintiff’s declining health and increasing stress, Plaintiff’s son, John Vaai, became her primary caregiver in April 2024.
John Vaai began assisting Plaintiff with medical care, transportation to medical appointments, medication management, and daily living needs.
October 2024 – Break Discipline Incident
In October 2024, Plaintiff and coworker Victor Knoll took a scheduled fifteen-minute break together while working on the same assignment.
Despite both employees taking the same break, management disciplined Plaintiff and questioned her whereabouts.
Victor Knoll was not disciplined.
Plaintiff’s daughter, Asena Vaai, was on the phone with Plaintiff during this time and witnessed the events as they occurred.
December 2024 – Family Relocation
In December 2024, Plaintiff's daughter Asena Vaai relocated from Texas to Tulsa to assist with Plaintiff's care due to worsening health conditions.
The stress of the workplace situation and medical complications had become overwhelming for the family.
Medical Impact
Plaintiff suffers from serious medical conditions including chronic kidney disease, fatigue, and a medical device implanted to assist with bladder control.
These conditions require frequent restroom access and ongoing medical care.
The stress caused by the workplace harassment significantly worsened Plaintiff's physical and emotional health.
Union Representation Issues
Plaintiff repeatedly sought assistance from Transport Workers Union of America Local 514.
However, Plaintiff was not provided adequate representation.
No grievance was filed regarding the restroom restrictions or the break discipline incident.
Union representatives present at meetings did not defend Plaintiff's rights under the collective bargaining agreement.
Family Impact
The events described above placed a significant emotional and financial burden on Plaintiff and her family.
Plaintiff's children relocated and became caregivers to ensure her safety and medical care.
Plaintiff had dedicated more than twenty-eight years of service to American Airlines and
did not wish to retire or leave her position under these circumstances.
Conclusion
Plaintiff brings this action seeking justice, accountability, and relief for the discrimination, harassment, and lack of representation she experienced during her employment.
Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court review the evidence and allow this matter to proceed so that the full facts may be heard.

MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL
Plaintiff Otolose Vea respectfully moves the Court for the appointment of counsel to represent Plaintiff in this matter.
In support of this motion, Plaintiff states as follows:
1. Plaintiff has filed this civil action alleging employment discrimination, harassment, retaliation, disability discrimination, and failure of union representation arising from Plaintiff's employment with American Airlines.
2. Plaintiff has received a Notice of Right to Sue from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and has filed this action within the required time period.
3. Plaintiff has attempted to locate legal representation but has not yet secured counsel willing to take the case.
4. Plaintiff respectfully submits that the legal issues in this case are complex and involve federal employment discrimination laws, union representation duties, and evidentiary issues.
5. Plaintiff's health condition and financial limitations make it difficult to effectively litigate this case without legal assistance.
6. Plaintiff believes the claims have merit and that the interests of justice would be
served by the appointment of counsel.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court appoint counsel to represent Plaintiff in this matter or otherwise assist Plaintiff in securing legal representation.

EFFORTS TO OBTAIN COUNSEL
Prior to filing this action, Plaintiff made multiple attempts to obtain legal representation from private attorneys and law firms that handle employment discrimination matters.
Plaintiff contacted several attorneys seeking assistance with the claims described in this complaint. Despite these efforts, Plaintiff was unable to secure representation.
Examples of attorneys or law firms contacted include:
• Ironside Law Firm – contacted on or about December 2025 – representation declined
• BIWD Law Firm – contacted on or about January 2026 – no response
• Solomon Law Firm – contacted on or about January 2026 – representation declined
Plaintiff believes the complexity of the case and the resources required to pursue litigation against a large corporation may have contributed to these denials.
Because Plaintiff has been unable to obtain counsel and lacks the financial resources to retain an attorney privately, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court consider appointing counsel.

DETERMINATION AND NOTICE OF RIGHTS
The EEOC issues the following determination: The EEOC will not proceed further with its investigation and makes no determination about whether further investigation would establish violations of the statute.

NOTICE OF YOUR RIGHT TO SUE
This is official notice that the EEOC has dismissed your charge and has issued you notice of your right to sue the respondent(s) on this charge. If you choose to file a lawsuit against the respondent(s) on this charge under federal law in federal or state court, your lawsuit must be filed WITHIN 90 DAYS of your receipt of EEOC’s official notice of dismissal.

INFORMATION RELATED TO FILING SUIT
UNDER THE LAWS ENFORCED BY THE EEOC
(This information relates to filing suit in Federal or State court under Federal law. If you also plan to sue claiming violations of State law, please be aware that time limits may be shorter and other provisions of State law may be different than those described below.)
IMPORTANT TIME LIMITS – 90 DAYS TO FILE A LAWSUIT
If you choose to file a lawsuit against the respondent(s) named in the charge of discrimination, you must file a complaint in court within 90 days of the date you receive EEOC’s official notice of dismissal. You should keep a record of the date you received EEOC’s official notice of dismissal. Once this 90-day period has passed, your right to sue based on the charge referred to in this Notice will be lost. If you intend to consult an attorney, you should do so promptly. Give your attorney a copy of this Notice, and the record of your receiving EEOC’s official notice of dismissal (email or envelope).
If your lawsuit includes a claim under the Equal Pay Act (EPA), you must file your complaint in court within 2 years (3 years for willful violations) of the date you did not receive equal pay. This time limit for filing an EPA lawsuit is separate from the 90-day filing period under Title VII, the ADA, GINA, the ADEA, or the PWFA referred to above. Therefore, if you also plan to sue under Title VII, the ADA, GINA, the ADEA, or the PWFA, in addition to suing on the EPA claim, your lawsuit must be filed within 90 days of your receipt of EEOC’s official notice of dismissal and within the 2- or 3-year EPA period.
Your lawsuit may be filed in U.S. District Court or a State court of competent jurisdiction. Whether you file in Federal or State court is a matter for you to decide after talking to your attorney. You must file a “complaint” that contains a short statement of the facts of your case which shows that you are entitled to relief. Filing this Notice is not enough. For more information about filing a lawsuit, go to https://www.eeoc.gov/employees/lawsuit.cfm.
ATTORNEY REPRESENTATION
For information about locating an attorney to represent you, go to:
https://www.eeoc.gov/employees/lawsuit.cfm.
In very limited circumstances, a U.S. District Court may appoint an attorney to represent individuals who demonstrate that they are financially unable to afford an attorney.
HOW TO REQUEST YOUR CHARGE FILE AND 90-DAY TIME LIMIT FOR REQUESTS
There are two ways to request a charge file: 1) a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request or 2) a “Section 83” request. You may request your charge file under either or both procedures. EEOC can generally respond to Section 83 requests more promptly than FOIA requests.
Since a lawsuit must be filed within 90 days of EEOC’s official notice of dismissal, please submit your FOIA and/or Section 83 request for the charge file promptly to allow sufficient time for EEOC to respond and for your review.
To make a FOIA request for your charge file, submit your request online at https://eeoc.arkcase.com/foia/portal/login (this is the preferred method). You may also submit a
FOIA request for your charge file by U.S. Mail by submitting a signed, written request identifying your request as a "FOIA Request" for Charge Number 564-2025-03390 to the District Director at David Davis, 1222 Spruce St Rm 8 100, St Louis, MO 63103.
To make a Section 83 request for your charge file, submit a signed written request stating it is a "Section 83 Request" for Charge Number 564-2025-03390 to the District Director at David Davis, 1222 Spruce St Rm 8 100, St Louis, MO 63103.
You may request the charge file up to 90 days after receiving EEOC's official notice of dismissal. After the 90 days have passed, you may request the charge file only if you have filed a lawsuit in court and provide a copy of the court complaint to EEOC.
For more information on submitting FOIA requests, go to https://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/foia/index.cfm.
For more information on submitted Section 83 requests, go to https://www.eeoc.gov/foia/section-83-disclosure-information-charge-files.
NOTICE OF RIGHTS UNDER THE ADA AMENDMENTS ACT OF 2008 (ADAAA)
The ADA was amended, effective January 1, 2009, to broaden the definitions of disability to make it easier for individuals to be covered under the ADA/ADAAA. A disability is still defined as (1) a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities (actual disability); (2) a record of a substantially limiting impairment; or (3) being regarded as having a disability. However, these terms are redefined, and it is easier to be covered under the new law.
If you plan to retain an attorney to assist you with your ADA claim, we recommend that you share this information with your attorney and suggest that he or she consult the amended regulations and appendix, and other ADA related publications, available at: http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/disability_regulations.cfm.
"Actual" disability or a "record of" a disability
If you are pursuing a failure to accommodate claim you must meet the standards for either "actual" or "record of" a disability:
☐ The limitations from the impairment no longer must be severe or significant for the impairment to be considered substantially limiting.
☐ In addition to activities such as performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, thinking, concentrating, reading, bending, and communicating (more examples at 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(i)), "major life activities" now include the operation of major bodily functions, such as: functions of the immune system, special sense organs and skin; normal cell growth; and digestive, genitourinary, bowel, bladder, neurological, brain, respiratory, circulatory, cardiovascular, endocrine, hemic, lymphatic, musculoskeletal, and reproductive functions; or the operation of an individual organ within a body system.
☐ Only one major life activity need be substantially limited.
☐ Except for ordinary eyeglasses or contact lenses, the beneficial effects of "mitigating measures" (e.g., hearing aid, prosthesis, medication, therapy, behavioral modifications)
are not considered in determining if the impairment substantially limits a major life activity.
☐ An impairment that is “episodic” (e.g., epilepsy, depression, multiple sclerosis) or “in remission” (e.g., cancer) is a disability if it would be substantially limiting when active.
☐ An impairment may be substantially limiting even though it lasts or is expected to last fewer than six months.
“Regarded as” coverage
An individual can meet the definition of disability if an employment action was taken because of an actual or perceived impairment (e.g., refusal to hire, demotion, placement on involuntary leave, termination, exclusion for failure to meet a qualification standard, harassment, or denial of any other term, condition, or privilege of employment).
☐ “Regarded as” coverage under the ADAAA no longer requires that an impairment be substantially limiting, or that the employer perceives the impairment to be substantially limiting.
☐ The employer has a defense against a “regarded as” claim only when the impairment at issue is objectively both transitory (lasting or expected to last six months or less) and minor.
☐ A person is not able to bring a failure to accommodate claim if the individual is covered only under the “regarded as” definition of “disability.”
Note: Although the amended ADA states that the definition of disability “shall be construed broadly” and “should not demand extensive analysis,” some courts require specificity in the complaint explaining how an impairment substantially limits a major life activity or what facts indicate the challenged employment action was because of the impairment. Beyond the initial pleading stage, some courts will require specific evidence to establish disability. For more information, consult the amended regulations and appendix, as well as explanatory publications, available at http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/disability_regulations.cfm.

DATE(S) DISCRIMINATION TOOK PLACE
Earliest: 10/01/2024
Latest: 09/12/2025
Continuing Action
THE PARTICULARS ARE:
I began my employment on or about June 2, 1993, as a mechanic with American Airlines. I joined the Transport Workers Union upon employment. At all times I perform my duties in a satisfactory manner and am a member in good standing with my labor union. I filed a complaint of discrimination against my employer, after they issued me an unfounded discipline. They conducted an investigation, and I was cleared of any wrongdoing. I requested the union file a grievance on my behalf 10/01/24 after receiving the first discipline via a request to James Holt TWU 514 Chairman. On 10/02/25 I received a second discipline from my employer. I made a second request for union representation James Holt to file a grievance on my behalf. Both requests have gone unanswered and TWU 514 failed to provide me the union representation I am due.
Subsequently, despite my good standing with the union, I was denied representation to remove the disciplinary actions from my file.
I believe that I have been discriminated against because of my disability, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, and my age (63) in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967. I also believe that I have been discriminated against because of my race (Pacific Islander), national origin, and color, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
I want this charge filed with both the EEOC and the State or local Agency, if any. I will advise the agencies if I change my address or phone number and I will cooperate fully with them in the processing of my charge in accordance with their procedures.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the above is true and correct, and that I have read each page of this form.

3. PRINCIPAL PURPOSES. The purposes of a charge, taken on this form or otherwise reduced to writing (whether later recorded on this form or not) are, as applicable under the EEOC anti-discrimination statutes (EEOC statutes), to preserve private suit rights under the EEOC statutes, to invoke the EEOC's jurisdiction and, where dual-filing or referral arrangements exist, to begin state or local proceedings.
4. ROUTINE USES. This form is used to provide facts that may establish the existence of matters covered by the EEOC statutes (and as applicable, other federal, state or local laws). Information given will be used by staff to guide its mediation and investigation efforts and, as applicable, to determine, conciliate and litigate claims of unlawful discrimination. This form may be presented to or disclosed to other federal, state or local agencies as appropriate or necessary in carrying out EEOC's functions. A copy of this charge will ordinarily be sent to the respondent organization against which the charge is made.

The Equal Pay Act has similar provisions and Section 503(b) of the ADA prohibits coercion, intimidation, threats or interference with anyone for exercising or enjoying, or aiding or encouraging others in their exercise or enjoyment of, rights under the Act.

Re: Otolose Vea v. Transport Workers Union of America AFL-CIO Local 514
Charge No.: 564-2025-03390
Dear Otolose Vea:
I am writing to you about the above-referenced Charge of Discrimination. As you know, the employer denies they discriminated against you. We provided you with a copy of the employer’s position statement which asserts a legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for its employment action.
A message from the Public Portal indicated you should provide a response to the position statement within 30 days of its release. The EEOC did not receive a response to rebut the proffered nondiscriminatory reason asserted by Respondent.
The evidence obtained during the investigation, thus far, does not indicate that further investigation will result in a violation. Accordingly, I will recommend to the Director that EEOC terminate the ongoing investigation and close the Charge. If the Director agrees, you will shortly receive a Determination and Notice of Rights, which will explain that you have 90 days from the date of that Notice to file a private lawsuit in federal court if you wish to proceed further with these claims. If you have questions or believe there is supplemental information that will be relevant to the final determination, please provide it within 10 days of the date of this letter. I can be reached by email at
[email protected] or by phone at (405) 666-0368.
If supplemental information is not provided within 10 days, or if the information fails to rebut the position statement, then I will recommend to the Director to proceed with issuance of the Determination and Notice of Rights through the Public Portal.
Sincerely,
DENNIS PETON

Re: Otolose Vea v. Transport Workers Union Of America AFL-CIO Local 514
Charge No.: 564-2025-03390
Dear Otolose Vea:
The evidence presented by you is insufficient on which to proceed with further investigation. As a result of our review of the matter, we have decided to dismiss the charge. Predicated on our review of the available evidence, we do not believe it can be established that the employer discriminated against you based on National Origin, race, color, disability, age, or any other reasons prohibited by the laws we enforce. Rather, the investigation yielded that you failed to meet the burden of proof responsibility required by federal law. Finally, we decline to take further action on the charge because there are no indications that further investigation or other use of our resources will result in sufficient evidence to establish a violation of the federal laws we enforce. You will be issued a Dismissal and Notice of Rights to Sue. The dismissal notice will describe your right to pursue the matter by filing a lawsuit in federal court within 90 days of your receipt of the notice.
Sincerely,
Dennis Peton

WITNESS STATEMENT OF ELVIS HULL
I, Elvis Hull, provide this statement based on my personal knowledge and observations while working at the American Airlines maintenance facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I worked in the same department and workplace environment as Otolose Vea, and during that time I observed situations where she appeared to be treated differently from other employees.
In approximately 2018–2019, I witnessed an incident where Otolose Vea was disciplined and told that she was not allowed to use the ladies’ restroom in our department. The restroom in question was a public restroom used by employees in the work area. To my knowledge, there was no rule in the American Airlines policies or the Transport Workers Union (TWU) contract that banned an employee from using a public restroom in the workplace.
At that time, Otolose Vea had a shop steward named Troy Ott who represented her regarding the restroom restriction.
I also observed that management frequently questioned Otolose Vea about her whereabouts in the work area, which I did not see happening to other employees. I personally was not questioned about my whereabouts in the same way.
I further observed that Otolose Vea appeared concerned about being seen sitting down during work hours, because management might assume she was taking an extended break. Because of this concern, she would sometimes sit in her work cart during winter weather or hot conditions rather than sit in other areas, apparently to avoid being accused of taking additional break time.
I observed these types of workplace issues continuing over a period of several years, from approximately 2018 through 2025.
During that time, I was aware that Otolose Vea attended meetings with management and the Transport Workers Union (TWU) regarding concerns she had reported. Despite those meetings, it appeared to me that the issues she was experiencing in the workplace continued and were not resolved.
I provide this statement truthfully based on my personal observations while working in the same workplace environment.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the information in this statement is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.

Good morning, James
I have a team member that you spoke with on the phone, on afternoon of 9/10/2025 @ 2:00 pm team member is Mrs. Otolose Vea, and she was requesting a letter stating that there was no grievance file on her behalf for a step 1 writeup, thought the company HR Representative Jeanette Gibbs stated to you and the Shop Steward that was representing her Kenneth Miller, there should have been a grievance filed for her, after I researched the TWU514 grievance form using her employee number and her last name, there was never a grievance file by you or Shop Steward Kenneth Miller in behalf of Mrs. Vea, can you please provide Mrs. Vea the information she is requesting along with all notes and filings of her 32J investigation that you and Mr. Miller sat in on the day of October 1, 2024, as well the step 1 writeup which you and Mr. Miller sat in on as well, over a break incident on October 2, 2024.
After speaking to Mrs. Vea, she feels that as team member she is not being represented properly or being taken seriously. So, I am asking if you please provide her the information she is requesting, as well as a letter stated from you that there was no grievance, and that her situation was overlooked. Thank you!

Dear Otolose Vea,
Thank you for talking with me today and sharing the details of your race/color/age/disability employment discrimination allegations. Based on the information you provided in the interview; we believe it may be established that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, or the Americans with Disabilities Act was violated with sufficient supporting evidence. Many of the examples you provided could rise to the level of violating the Federal Laws we enforce. We want to reiterate that since you want to file the charge this is your right, and we will definitely do so on your behalf. However, if this does not meet the elements of prima facie, this case would be dismissed by the EEOC and a Dismissal and Notice of Right to Sue (NRTS) Letter would be issued to you. This would give you the opportunity to file a lawsuit in State or Federal Court within 90 days of receiving the notice of rights letter. Please be aware that Federal Law requires charges to be filed no more than 300 days from the last day of harm. If we do not have your signed Charge of Discrimination (COD) form within 7 days of our uploading the form to the portal, then this case will be administratively closed, and you would not receive your NRTS Letter. At the conclusion of our conversation, you wanted additional time to submit evidence that meets the burden of proof responsibility required by Federal Law. The evidence can be emailed to me directly. We agreed on a deadline of 09/15/2025 to do so, but if we do not hear from you by then, this inquiry will be administratively closed. Also, please provide the contact information for the Transport Workers Union.
Please contact me if you have any more questions or need any further information.

Dear Otolose Vea,
Thank you for talking with me today and sharing the details of your race/color/age/disability employment discrimination allegations. Based on the information you provided in the interview; we believe it may be established that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, or the Americans with Disabilities Act was violated with sufficient supporting evidence. Many of the examples you provided could rise to the level of violating the Federal Laws we enforce. We want to reiterate that since you want to file the charge this is your right, and we will definitely do so on your behalf. However, if this does not meet the elements of prima facie, this case would be dismissed by the EEOC and a Dismissal and Notice of Right to Sue (NRTS) Letter would be issued to you. This would give you the opportunity to file a lawsuit in State or Federal Court within 90 days of receiving the notice of rights letter. Please be aware that Federal Law requires charges to be filed no more than 300 days from the last day of harm. If we do not have your signed Charge of Discrimination (COD) form within 7 days of our uploading the form to the portal, then this case will be administratively closed, and you would not receive your NRTS Letter. At the conclusion of our conversation, you wanted additional time to submit evidence that meets the burden of proof responsibility required by Federal Law. The evidence can be emailed to me directly. We agreed on a deadline of 09/15/2025 to do so, but if we do not hear from you by then, this inquiry will be administratively closed. Also, please provide the contact information for the Transport Workers Union.
Please contact me if you have any more questions or need any further information.

Dear Otolose Vea,
Thank you for talking with me today and sharing the details of your race/color/age/disability employment discrimination allegations. Based on the information you provided in the interview; we believe it may be established that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, or the Americans with Disabilities Act was violated with sufficient supporting evidence. Many of the examples you provided could rise to the level of violating the Federal Laws we enforce. We want to reiterate that since you want to file the charge this is your right, and we will definitely do so on your behalf. However, if this does not meet the elements of prima facie, this case would be dismissed by the EEOC and a Dismissal and Notice of Right to Sue (NRTS) Letter would be issued to you. This would give you the opportunity to file a lawsuit in State or Federal Court within 90 days of receiving the notice of rights letter. Please be aware that Federal Law requires charges to be filed no more than 300 days from the last day of harm. If we do not have your signed Charge of Discrimination (COD) form within 7 days of our uploading the form to the portal, then this case will be administratively closed, and you would not receive your NRTS Letter. At the conclusion of our conversation, you wanted additional time to submit evidence that meets the burden of proof responsibility required by Federal Law. The evidence can be emailed to me directly. We agreed on a deadline of 09/15/2025 to do so, but if we do not hear from you by then, this inquiry will be administratively closed. Also, please provide the contact information for the Transport Workers Union.
Please contact me if you have any more questions or need any further information.
Kind regards,

Here to write a statement today. Co-workers can mention who Victor Knoll only knows what is really going on in the shop. Currently these co workers all sleep and watch TV on breaks it's in our shop break room upstairs under management watch. Supervisor Stephanie Coon listens to these co workers just to give me hard time. Victor knoll is a witness to what the shop and management are trying to do me. I just want this stop. These people don't know how this is effecting me mentally and physically it's not helping me coming to work.

Hello Rose.
As noted in the letter I sent in a separate email, the investigation into your concerns is now closed. Unfortunately, in my email, I failed to address a comment you made during our meeting. In our meeting, you mentioned an incident in 2019 wherein you claim you were advised that you could not use a particular bathroom. Please know you are not forbidden from using that bathroom. Although I was not involved in that 2019 incident, I apologize for any misunderstanding.
Sincerely,
Jeanette

Hello Rose.
Please know no employees are forbidden from using restrooms on the property; if this was understood or communicated to you in a previous conversation, I would like to clarify that you may use any of the ladies’ restrooms in your location you deem necessary for your personal comfort.
As for the grievance issue, please check with your union steward for any updates as that is a separate and distinct process regulated by your contract.
Sincerely,
Jeanette

Hello,
Just want to understand that you address me not being ban from the restroom in 2019 it was 29F that was given to a union rep Troy 2019 written up against me from the person and the supervisor wanted me to no longer use that bathroom in the shop. Or are you addressing now of 2024 ??? The case is close but nothing has been addressed about grievance of the write 32J letter that I still have proof between victor and myself the union have both stated no grievance is being filed?? I don’t get any closer of that either???

Dear Otolose Vea,
Thank you for talking with me today and sharing the details of your race/color/age/disability employment discrimination allegations. Based on the information you provided in the interview; we believe it may be established that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, or the Americans with Disabilities Act was violated with sufficient supporting evidence. Many of the examples you provided could rise to the level of violating the Federal Laws we enforce. We want to reiterate that since you want to file the charge this is your right, and we will definitely do so on your behalf. However, if this does not meet the elements of prima facie, this case would be dismissed by the EEOC and a Dismissal and Notice of Right to Sue (NRTS) Letter would be issued to you. This would give you the opportunity to file a lawsuit in State or Federal Court within 90 days of receiving the notice of rights letter. Please be aware that Federal Law requires charges to be filed no more than 300 days from the last day of harm. If we do not have your signed Charge of Discrimination (COD) form within 7 days of our uploading the form to the portal, then this case will be administratively closed, and you would not receive your NRTS Letter. At the conclusion of our conversation, you wanted additional time to submit evidence that meets the burden of proof responsibility required by Federal Law. The evidence can be emailed to me directly. We agreed on a deadline of 09/15/2025 to do so, but if we do not hear from you by then, this inquiry will be administratively closed. Also, please provide the contact information for the Transport Workers Union.
Please contact me if you have any more questions or need any further information.

Details
Asena is calling regarding her mother, Otolose Vea, mechanic facilities maintenance. Otolose works with a partner, Victor Knoll, mechanic facilities maintenance, in area 755. On September 30, 2024, took a break from 8 AM to 8:15 AM. Victor had to walk to a different area to get tools and Otolose sat down to wait on him. Jared and Stephanie approached Otolose and said that she had been on break that she needed to go back to her work area. Otolose said that she was not on break and she was waiting on Victor. Jared and Stephanie said they had been watching Otolose since 7:55 AM. So Victor with her the whole time. Victor asked why Jared and Stephanie were only asking Otolose, because they had been together. On October 2, Otolose found out that she was written up for taking Victor drive to a different area to use the restroom.
Otolose took bereavement time in April and she was questioned about it. Otolose had to fly to Hawaii. Sheila Carlson, HR manager, asked Otolose if she wrote the obituary herself. The funeral home sister-in-law instead of daughter-in-law, so she had to call and have that corrected for the bereavement to be approved. Otolose took bereavement again on September 11, and she was told that the would not be approved until Stephanie saw the obituary. The obituary was turned in, but the pay has still not been processed, as of October 15.
On October 2, when Stephanie gave Otolose the write-up, she said that she did not want to give Otolose the write-up, but that she had to because jared wanted a promotion. Otolose went to talk to t (name unknown). After work, Otolose went to the hospital and she was admitted. Otolose is still admitted in the hospital as of today, October 15.

THE PARTICULARS ARE (If additional paper is needed, attach extra sheet(s)):
1. I filed a previous internal complaint of discrimination and harassment with my employer. I feel no investigation was done before a finding was issued. I again am experiencing discrimination and harassment of the same kind. I am the one person questioned about my work assignment and work ethics.

Crew Chief, Dan Adams, stalks and watches me do my job assignment, creating an uneasy safe environment for me to work. Mr. Adams has Shelby Morgan taking pictures of my car in the parking lot and my work area. I have been questioned about my job qualifications. No other employee not of my race, age and color is subjected to this treatment.
2. I believe I have been retaliated and discriminated against because of my sex (Female), my race (Tongan), my national origin (Pacific Islander) the color of my skin (Brown) in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
I want this charge filed with both the EEOC and the State or local Agency, if any. I will advise the agencies if I change my address or phone number and I will cooperate fully with them in the processing of my charge in accordance with their procedures.

Without a written charge, EEOC will ordinarily not act on the complaint. Charges under Title VII, the ADA or GINA must be sworn to or affirmed (either by using this form or by presenting a notarized statement or unsworn declaration under penalty of perjury); charges under the ADEA should ordinarily be signed. Charges may be clarified or amplified later by amendment. It is not mandatory that this form be used to make a charge.
NOTICE OF RIGHT TO REQUEST SUBSTANTIAL WEIGHT REVIEW
Charges filed at a state or local Fair Employment Practices Agency (FEPA) that dual-files charges with EEOC will ordinarily be handled first by the FEPA. Some charges filed at EEOC may also be first handled by a FEPA under worksharing agreements. You will be told which agency will handle your charge. When the FEPA is the first to handle the charge, it will notify you of its final resolution of the matter. Then, if you wish EEOC to give Substantial Weight Review to the FEPA's final findings, you must ask us in writing to do so within 15 days of your receipt of its findings. Otherwise, we will ordinarily adopt the FEPA's finding and close our file on the charge.
NOTICE OF NON-RETALIATION REQUIREMENTS
Please notify EEOC or the state or local agency where you filed your charge if retaliation is taken against you or others who oppose discrimination or cooperate in any investigation or lawsuit concerning this charge. Under Section 704(a) of Title VII, Section 4(d) of the ADEA, Section 503(a) of the ADA and Section 207(f) of GINA, it is unlawful for an employer to discriminate against present or former employees or job applicants, for an employment agency to discriminate against anyone, or for a union to discriminate against its members or membership applicants, because they have opposed any practice made unlawful by the statutes, or because they have made a charge, testified, assisted, or participated in any manner in an investigation, proceeding, or hearing under the laws. The Equal Pay Act has similar provisions and Section 503(b) of the ADA prohibits coercion, intimidation, threats or interference with anyone for exercising or enjoying, or aiding or encouraging others in their exercise or enjoyment of, rights under the Act.

Good morning,
Our office has received this charge alleging age discrimination. You currently have an open charge for investigation under age discrimination. If you have continued work issues, they can possibly be investigated under the open charge by amending the charge.
However, after careful review of the mail-in, I don’t find an adverse action due to the work assignment. Unfortunately, we can be subjected to other duties and responsibilities by our employer. If you feel they over excessive and have proof no other person is being subjected to this act. We need to amend charge to include these acts.
Because you already have an open charge, this charge will be considered duplicate and closed. If you need to discuss this matter with me, I can be reached at the number below.

It is extremely important that you (and your daughter) extricate yourself from this investigation. Any statements that you receive from potential witnesses directly and forward to me, could be considered coerced and thus will taint the outcome of the investigation. I am looking into your concerns and will follow our normal process for conducting investigation, but it is imperative that neither you, or anyone in your family, reach out to potential witnesses.

DECLARATION OF ASENA VAAI
I, Asena Vaai, declare the following based on my personal knowledge:
I am the daughter of Otolose Vea. I am providing this statement to explain events related to my mother’s hospitalization and the work-related circumstances that contributed to it.
On or about October 1, 2025, my mother was referred to and admitted to Saint Francis Hospital because she was not feeling well. Our family was not informed in advance that she would later be admitted to a mental health facility.
According to my mother, she did not fully understand what the doctors were explaining to her at the time. Shortly afterward, she was admitted to a mental health hospital.
Prior to this hospitalization, my mother had been experiencing significant stress related to her employment at American Airlines, including repeated meetings with Human Resources, management, and union representatives.
These meetings involved scrutiny regarding workplace breaks and questions about her whereabouts during work hours. My mother felt she was being singled out, as other employees, including her partner Victor Knoll, were not questioned in the same manner.
My mother also suffers from a medical condition affecting her bladder, which requires frequent restroom use. This condition caused embarrassment and additional stress at work. Despite the union being aware of her medical condition for years, she felt her rights were not adequately defended.
My mother was also repeatedly asked to provide documentation related to funeral leave, even though such requirements were not clearly stated in American Airlines policy or the TWU union contract.
I also work for American Airlines. In my own experience, I have never been asked to provide similar documentation after the loss of a family member.
Based on what I observed and what my mother communicated to me, the combination of these work-related issues significantly affected her emotional and mental well-being.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true and correct.
Executed on March 10, 2026.

American Airlines,
This is Asena Vaai writing on behalf of my mother Otolose Vaai or Vea she goes by. Her Location: Tulsa Base of American Airlines Location# 2920 Facility Mechanic Maintenance.
Supervisor: Stephanie Coon
Mabager: Jared Hedges.
A case was being brought on her 2020 which I have it attach to this email below. And, please forgive me if I have tag my mother and TWU organization to this email along for my wrong to speak my peace on Otolose Vaai As a daughter I've watch this company failed my mother in such a way that she continues to work for a company that deliberately do her wrong. In the worst way ever currently this company has took my mother to the Hospitals, treatments, and two surgeries No one seems to hear my mother cries day in and day out.
Otolose Vea works for a company that has put her out in every break area, bathroom, and down to questioning her bereavements in our family, Without no explanation or cause she has been written up six times without any knowledge which none are work relations. But still no one want to do anything about it. I have ask Otolose Vea time and time to leave the company but she has so much years on her back that she refuse to leave this company of 31 years and yet no one hear her cries of harassment. I am bringing everyone here to realize my mother is at the hospital due to so much stress No one does not seem to care. I am here to look into Jared Hedges and Steaphanie Coon of two managements in my mother department don't realize she has been race-fully profile and harass back in 2020 we in 2024 I was on the phone when Jared Hedges and Stephanie Coon came to look for Otolose Vea taking her 15min break it has got to my attention that these two management wrote her up And not her Partner Victor on 09-30-24 Monday. We have been thru this route before but I will my mother statement in 2020 to allow yall to see this department has done so much work in hate and continue to harass my mother for 7 years to long. I am asking someone to look into this department and the wrongful things they continue to do to this women my mother I have kept my peace far to long. Enough is enough I will not loose my mother over this company and she has been admitted to the hospital as I am writing this email. Sad 💔
Notes: Yes we have went through all protocols HR, Union, Co-Workers department, Myself are aware of this wrong doing. Ethic Point have been notified 09-30-2024
Below is the case that already open to my mother.
Here is a summary of what did happen before I left on my vacation, due to nothing being done/ and investigated from the people that I've already put in since this incident started back in year of 2018, but you only ask for the year of 2020 here it is.
Example of my log in sheet, location, hours, and job function I have been logging these in since I transfer from DFW.
Crew Chief Dan Adams - Mistreating me Stalking my work area consistently, also been parking his tug around watching my job assignment. Making me on the edge, and uneasy, unsafe, hard to concentrate my own assignment.

Good morning Asena,
I’m sorry to hear about your mother. I have her timesheet updated to reflect her VAC from 10/07-10/25. She will need to provide a return to work note from her doctor stating when she can return to work and state whether or not if she has any restrictions when her doctor mentions that she’s able to return to work.
I have opened up a medical leave case for her to have the doctor’s fill out for her leave of absence. Attached is the FMLA paperwork her doctor will need to fill out. Once the doctor has completed the paperwork please have them fax the completed paperwork to 412-324-3426 or get a copy of the paperwork and hand deliver it to us and we’ll be able to help attach the paperwork to her case.
Once the documents have been attached to her case it’ll take ARC 3-5 business days to process the documents.
Send a Nonstop THANKS!

A chronic condition may cause episodic rather than a continuing period of incapacity.
Permanent or Long-term Conditions: A period of incapacity which is permanent or long-term due to a condition for which treatment may not be effective, but which requires the continuing supervision of a health care provider, such as Alzheimer’s disease or the terminal stages of cancer.

Comment: INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Selenium, Serum or Plasma
Elevated results may be due to contamination from skin or other collection-related issues, including the use of a noncertified metal-free collection/transport tube. If contamination concerns exist due to elevated levels of serum/plasma selenium, confirmation with a second specimen collected in a certified metal-free tube is recommended.
Serum selenium levels can be used in the determination of deficiency or toxicity. Plasma and serum contains 75 percent of the selenium measured in whole blood and reflects recent dietary intake. Selenium deficiency can occur endemically or as a result of sustained TPN or restricted diets and has been associated with cardiomyopathy and may exacerbate hypothyroidism. Selenium toxicity is relatively rare. Excess intake of selenium can result in symptoms consistent with selenosis and include gastrointestinal upset, hair loss, white blotchy nails, and mild nerve damage.
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by ARUP Laboratories. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. This test was performed in a CLIA certified laboratory and is intended for clinical purposes.

Long Term has been denied we have contact union to atleast provide her Enrolment or to see what they could do to Fight NO RESPONSE Since the denial letter 2-12-26 I daughter have text union no response
2-17-26 text no response (120 p.m).
Date: March 6, 2026
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Otolose Vea, and I am submitting this statement in support of my appeal of the denial of my Long-Term Disability benefits.
I would also like to explain concerns regarding the lack of communication and assistance from my union representatives during this time.
Both Tracy Hardin and George Albany of the Transport Workers Union (TWU) have previously handled matters related to insurance and benefits, including Short-Term and Long-Term Disability. However, since the filing of my EEOC complaint and during the time of my Long-Term Disability appeal, my family and I have not received responses to our attempts to obtain information and assistance.
My daughter has attempted to reach out to Tracy Hardin by phone and text message in order to ask questions regarding the start date of my Long-Term Disability benefits and to seek guidance during this appeal process. The last time we had direct communication was on January 6, 2026. Since that time, we have attempted to follow up but have not received a response.
It is unusual for Mr. Hardin not to respond, as he had previously communicated with us. Because of this lack of response, it has been difficult for my family to obtain information regarding my benefits and the status of my claim.
Due to my medical condition, my children have been assisting me with managing my medical care, appointments, and communications related to my benefits. Without assistance from the union during this time, my family has had to manage the appeal process independently while also caring for my health.
This statement is provided simply to explain the circumstances surrounding the lack of communication and support during my disability claim and appeal process.
I respectfully request that my medical documentation and supporting evidence be fully reviewed in consideration of my Long-Term Disability appeal.
Sincerely,
Otolose Vea

Re: Policyholder: Transport Workers Union of America Local 514
Policy Number: 00001027219400000
Claim Number: 1250083155
Claimant: Otolose Vea
Dear Otolose:
We have completed our review of your Long Term Disability claim.
In order to be eligible for benefits under the policy issued to your employer, an individual must satisfy all of the provisions of the policy. This includes, but is not limited to the following:
PRE-EXISTING CONDITION EXCLUSION. This Policy will not cover any Total or Partial Disability:
1. which is caused or contributed to by, or results from a Pre-Existing Condition;
and
2. which begins in the first 12 months after the Insured Employee's Effective Date.
"Pre-Existing Condition" means a Sickness or Injury for which the Insured Employee received treatment within 3 months prior to the Insured Employee's Effective Date.
"Treatment" means consultation, care or services provided by a Physician. It includes diagnostic measures and the prescription, refill of prescription, or taking of any prescribed drugs or medicine.
You became insured under this policy on 01/01/2025. Since you stopped working during the first 12 months after that date, we investigated whether or not you received treatment during the 3 months prior to your effective date. The time frame for the pre-existing period would have been from 10/01/2024 to 01/01/2025.
Information reviewed and action taken
In our review process, all information previously submitted as well as any new documentation is used to make a determination. The documentation contained in your claim file includes, but is not limited to, the following:
• Attending Physician Statement completed by Dr Allison Szymansk on 05/30/2025
• Group Continuance of Disability statement completed by Karen Yarusso, PA-C dated 07/11/2025
• Office and treatment notes from Karen Yarusso, PA-C for dates 10/14/2024 to 12/14/2024
• Prescription Records
According to the information contained in your claim file, you stopped working on 06/11/2025 due to a diagnosis of hypalbuminemia, malabsorption, chronic kidney disease, swelling in legs, and anxiety. Our investigation concluded you received treatment for this condition during the pre-existing timeframe, as outlined above.
Medical records dated 10/14/2024, 10/29/2024, 11/23/2024, and 12/14/2024, show that you treated with Karen Yarusso, PA-C for vomiting, diarrhea, chronic kidney disease, foot swelling, edema, low albumin, anxiety, and Diabetes Mellitus Type II.
Summary
In summary, the medical documentation contained in your claim file indicates your condition is pre-existing, as defined by this policy.
Please note, your claim was reviewed for the pre-existing provision only. In the event the claim would be overturned and reopened upon appeal, a full investigation into eligibility of benefits including Total or Partial Disability would need to be completed.
We evaluated this claim by applying the provisions of the policy to the facts and opinions contained in the claim file. Other than what is set out in the policy, we did not rely upon any guidelines, internal rules, protocols, standards or other similar criteria in reaching this claim determination.
If you disagree with our decision, you may appeal this determination by following the steps outlined below.
Appeal Rights
You, your attorney or a person legally authorized as your representative may appeal the denial by requesting a review of your denied claim. To initiate this process, submit your written request for review to us at the following address within 180 days after you receive this denial notice.

To Whom It May Concern,
Re: Otolose Vea DOB: 05/04/1962
I am writing on behalf of my patient, Otolose Vea, who has been under my care for ongoing medical conditions that significantly affect her ability to function and maintain employment.
Ms. Vea has been diagnosed with several chronic and serious health conditions, including chronic kidney disease (stage 3), anemia, edema (swelling of the lower extremities), hypertension, chronic fatigue, and anxiety related to prolonged stress. These conditions require ongoing medical treatment, monitoring and management.
Over the course of treatment, Ms. Vea has experienced symptoms that include severe fatigue, weakness, swelling in the legs and feet, reduced stamina, and difficulty maintaining normal daily activities. These symptoms have progressively impacted her ability to perform physical and mental tasks required for regular employment.
Ms. Vea's medical condition has also been affected by significant workplace related stress that contributed to a decline in her overall health and required medical evaluation and treatment. The stress and physical complications associated with her conditions have made it difficult for her to safely perform work duties.
Due to the severity of her medical conditions, Ms. Vea has functional limitations that interfere with her ability to perform the essential duties of her occupation. These limitations include reduced physical endurance, mobility limitations caused by swelling and fatigue, and the need for ongoing medical care and monitoring.
Because of her health conditions, Ms. Vea has also required assistance from family members for transportation to medical appointments, medication management, and daily support. Family members have relocated in order to assist with her care due to the severity of her medical limitations.
Based on my medical evaluation and ongoing treatment of Ms. Vea, it is my professional medical opinion that she is currently unable to perform the duties of her occupation or maintain gainful employment.
Ms Vea's conditions are chronic in nature and require continued medical care and monitoring. At this time, it is medically appropriate that she remain out of work while continuing treatment.
I support Ms. Vea's request for long term disability benefits and recommend that her medical condition be given careful consideration in the review of her disability claim.
If additional information is required, please feel free to contact my office.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is John Vaai, and I am the son of Otolose Vea.
In April 2024, I relocated from Oklahoma City to Tulsa, Oklahoma in order to live with my mother and provide full-time assistance due to her worsening health condition.
Prior to that time, my sister Asena Vaai had moved from Texas in December 2024 to help care for our mother. However, because my mother lives in a small apartment and my sister has four children, there was limited space for them to remain there. Due to these space limitations and my mother's continued need for care, I moved to Tulsa to take over as the primary caregiver for my mother.
Since that time, I have been providing daily support and assistance. I help make sure my mother attends her doctor appointments and hospital visits, and I serve as her full-time driver because she is unable to drive herself due to her health condition. I also help ensure that she takes her medications properly each day and that her medications are organized and taken on schedule.
In addition, I help monitor her daily health and make sure she is eating properly and maintaining her medical care. My goal is to help my mother focus on healing and to bring some peace and stability to her life after the many years of stress and health issues she has experienced.
My mother has been dealing with health challenges since around 2018, and the stress related to her work situation contributed significantly to the decline in her health.
Our family has also applied for Social Security Disability benefits on her behalf. At this time, the application is still in progress. We have completed the Social Security interview and are currently waiting for a decision regarding approval.
We respectfully ask that her medical condition and the support she now requires be carefully reviewed. Our hope is that this appeal will help provide the support my mother needs while she focuses on her health and recovery.
Sincerely,
John Vaai
Son and Full-Time Caregiver for Otolose Vea

My Commission Expires 02-24-2029
Date: March 6, 2026
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Asena Vaai, and I am the daughter of Otolose Vea.
In December 2024, I relocated from Texas to Tulsa, Oklahoma because my mother’s health had begun to worsen and she required assistance with her medical care and daily activities. During this time, my mother was experiencing significant health issues and was not doing well physically.
I helped by transporting my mother to doctor appointments, accompanying her during hospital visits, and assisting with monitoring her condition during periods when she was struggling with her health. I also helped manage communication regarding her medical care and ensured she attended her medical appointments.
Much of the stress and decline in my mother’s health occurred during ongoing issues related to her workplace. Our family later filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and a Right-to-Sue letter was issued regarding those matters.
During this time, I also attempted to reach out to the TWU union for assistance regarding my mother’s situation and her disability benefits. I left a message for union representative Tracy Hardin requesting guidance and support, but I did not receive a response.
To our knowledge, no one from the TWU union has contacted my mother to check on her health or assist with her long-term disability concerns during this time. Because of the lack of response and assistance, our family has had to handle the disability appeal process ourselves while also supporting my mother through her medical condition.
I provide this statement to explain the circumstances surrounding my relocation from Texas and the assistance I provided to my mother during this difficult period.
Sincerely,
Asena Vaai
Daughter of Otolose Vea
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OKLAHOMA
Otolose Vea,
Plaintiff,
v.
American Airlines, Inc., and
Transport Workers Union of America Local 514,
Defendants.
Case No: ____________
PRAYER FOR JUSTICE
Plaintiff Otolose Vea respectfully requests that this Court review the full history of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation experienced by Plaintiff following her transfer from Texas to Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Prior to transferring from Texas in July 2017, Plaintiff did not experience workplace discrimination or harassment. After transferring to the American Airlines maintenance facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Plaintiff began experiencing a pattern of discriminatory treatment that continued over several years.
Beginning in 2018, complaints were filed regarding workplace harassment and discrimination involving supervisors and co-workers. These complaints resulted in investigations conducted by American Airlines Human Resources. However, the actions taken did not resolve the ongoing issues and the pattern of conduct continued.
Investigations referenced include:
• 2018 – Investigation handled by Human Resources representative Sheila Carlson
• 2020 – Investigation involving Human Resources representative Lori Holman
• 2024–2025 – Labor Relations investigation conducted by investigator Jeanette Gibbs
Despite these investigations, the discriminatory environment continued, including disciplinary actions against Plaintiff and a failure of union representation to properly
address grievances.
These events caused severe emotional, physical, and financial harm to Plaintiff and contributed to the decline of Plaintiff's health and ability to continue working.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court:
1. Recognize the ongoing pattern of discrimination and retaliation occurring from approximately 2018 through 2025.
2. Require Defendants to produce all investigation records, Human Resources files, emails, and documentation relating to complaints made by Plaintiff.
3. Ensure that all relevant records are preserved and not destroyed or altered during the course of this litigation.
4. Hold Defendants accountable for violations of federal employment discrimination laws.
5. Grant such relief as the Court finds just and proper, including damages and any corrective action deemed appropriate.
Justice is respectfully requested so that the full truth regarding these events may be examined by the Court.
Respectfully submitted,
Otolose Vea
