Sexual Misconduct Complaint Retaliation

Ehlert v City of Dearborn

When she refused, the Chief demeaned her to her supervisors with vulgar sexist slurs. Karen's superiors reported the slurs to Karen and to her union. The Chief also retaliated against Karen and colleagues who were supportive of her in her sexual harassment complaint.
