SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- After seven years of listening to the complaints of others harassed at work, a former investigator for the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division has filed a harassment lawsuit of her own.
Carol Kline initially filed a discrimination complaint against UALD in 2006 after being fired in 2005. A 14 month investigation validated Kline's claims that she suffered gender-based discrimination and was fired because she complained about a hostile work environment.
Kline filed a lawsuit Feb. 11, after failing to successfully negotiate a settlement with the state office, a branch of the Utah Labor Commission. She's seeking $200,000 and lost wages.
An attorney for UALD says the agency denies the allegations.
