A former Metro East Sanitary District employee claims he was wrongfully terminated by a “newly Democratic-controlled MESD board” with a history of rewarding political supporters.
“Unfortunately, the MESD has long made employment decisions based on political affiliations at great risk to those living within its jurisdiction and detriment of public trust in the government and morale of government employees,” plaintiff Cedric Irby’s suit states.
Irby filed an amended complaint alleging wrongful termination and breach of contract on April 21 through attorney Gail Eisenberg of Loftus & Eisenberg in Chicago after his original complaint was dismissed by Madison County Circuit Judge Dennis Ruth on March 23.
