Fresno Sex Discrimination Suit Settled
Michelle Maher’s sexual discrimination suit against the Frenso Fire Department has been settled. The single mom who claims she was forced out of the 2005 training academy, won her gender discrimination case last year, and the case had been on appeal.
The city agreed to pay $3,350,000 to settle the case, including $900,000 in legal fees.
This was an unnecessary litigation – the fire service at times is its own worse enemy when it comes to discrimination.
