A former employee has sued the nonprofit San Diego Workforce Partnership alleging unlawful discrimination, harassment and retaliation on the basis of sex and race.
A former employee has filed a lawsuit against the nonprofit San Diego Workforce Partnership and its CEO, alleging race- and gender-based harassment, discrimination and retaliation, according to court documents.
The nonprofit sent KPBS an email saying it is aware of the lawsuit and has retained legal representation. It said the organization believes in the importance of creating a diverse and inclusive workforce and has a policy that prohibits discrimination, harassment and retaliation. The pattern of harassment and discrimination escalated in September 2021, the lawsuit says, when Gaines approached Callstrom regarding an internal survey that showed employees felt Black applicants were being excluded from a program administered by San Diego Workforce Partnership.
