Chicago, Labor Union Beat Mailroom Worker s Pay Bias Suit
Law360 (May 21, 2021, 1:59 PM EDT) A federal judge threw out a mailroom worker s pay discrimination suit against the city of Chicago and a union, saying the worker s claims that her duties were similar to those of a higher-paid firefighter, assistant city commissioner and a concrete worker didn t pass muster.
U.S. District Judge Charles Kocoras on Thursday granted motions to dismiss from Chicago and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31. Angela Boyd had claimed the union was also liable because it struck the collective bargaining agreement with the city that established her pay rate.
Symes led the final 16-9 after 11 of the 18 ends. But Kernaghan took a four on the next end – the third of the game – to tighten up the contest. Symes took a two on the next end, but then Kernaghan got on a run and including a three on the penultimate head, his team grabbed the lead for the first time. Both Scott and MacDonell produced top draw shots on the deciding end, before Gray, with his second delivery, immaculately drew the jack a few centimetres to hold two. Kernaghan, a highly decorated player, had to watch with frustration when his last drive hit the head but he still found himself two down when the dust settled and both the jack and Gray’s toucher ended up in the ditch. It was his third successive fours final defeat.
