Case ID: 4518 | Employment | 11/08/2005
In 2004, nine african american Water Services employees sued Metro alleging racially disparate pay, promotion, job assignments, supervision, discipline and accommodations.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has cleared the way for the Metro Water Services employees who sued the department for racial discrimination to proceed as a class action. The court denied Metro’s appeal of an August order by U.S. District Judge William Haynes giving the case class action status. Named plaintiffs Oralene Day, Sandra Derrick, Darrel Gant, Claude Grant, Princess Martindale, Darryl McKibbens, Antonio McKissack, Faletha Reid and Pamela Tucker are seeking compensatory damages and injunctive relief. The lawsuit alleges former Water Services human resources manager Robin Brown, contributed to the problem by not being receptive to the employees’ concerns. Brown is now human resources manager at Metro’s Department of Human Resources. The class certification allowed the case to proceed on behalf of all former, current and future african-american employees since January 2000. The plaintiffs say there are currently 178 such employees. The trial has been scheduled for November 14, 2006.
