First Post on New Employment Law Site: Bailey v. S.F. Dist. Attorney's Office

Bailey v. S.F. Dist. Attorney's Office (SC S265223 7/29/24)

Twanda Bailey sued the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, former District Attorney George Gascon, and the City and County of San Francisco under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) for racial harassment and retaliation. Bailey, an African-American, claimed a coworker used a racial slur against her and that, after reporting it, the human resources manager obstructed her complaint and intimidated her. The trial court granted summary judgment for the City, but the California Supreme Court reversed this decision finding that a single slur could be actionable.
