Taken to the Cleaners

A custodian alleged that her former employer discriminated against her on the basis of her sex and retaliated against her for complaining of discrimination when the employer allegedly subjected her to derogatory and offensive comments and conduct on the basis of her sex, and later subjected her to different terms and conditions than her male colleagues when she complained of discrimination. The parties mediated the complaint and a settlement was reached. Under the settlement, the employer agreed to pay the custodian a total of $45,000.
