Bureau of Labor & Industries Commissioner Val Hoyle hires third-party investigator following resignation of Civil Rights administrator Carol Johnson.
The state agency tasked with scrutinizing unlawful employment practices is now facing its own outside investigation following allegations that the public workplace is rife with racism.
The third-party probe of the Oregon Bureau of Labor & Industries follows the sudden departure of Carol Johnson, the chief administrator for the agency s Civil Rights Division, who says she was forced to resign due to a hostile and bigoted work environment.
Johnson now seeks $2.3 million in damages from BOLI in a lawsuit filed April 30 in Multnomah County Circuit Court.
