Two former managers alleged that the Bay Area Air Quality Management District is “a hostile and discriminatory ‘old boys club’ where heterosexual, White men are in charge.
Levels worked at the district’s San Francisco office from 2007 until this April, starting as a human resources intern and working her way up to HR officer, becoming the first Black woman to occupy that position at director level, according to her lawsuit filed Thursday.
Additionally, Levels said executives assigned her job duties to unqualified White, heterosexual men, and paid the men more, and when she complained to an executive about an officer’s racist and sexist harassment, the executive assigned the same officer to investigate her complaint, her lawsuit alleges.
Sanders, described in their lawsuit as “openly LGBTQIA+,” and using they/them pronouns, started at the district in 2006 as an HR analyst, advancing to a position of chief administrative officer, which they held until they were fired in January of this year, according to the lawsuit. For almost the entirety of Sanders’ time at the district, a handful of executive-level colleagues harassed and discriminated against them, their lawsuit filed Wednesday claimed.
