Clouse Dunn Khoshbin LLP Files EEOC Charge on Behalf of Local Reporter Fired for Opposition to Discriminatory Employment Practices

Steve Kardell, Texas employment lawyer, recently filed a Charge of Discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") on behalf of local reporter, Rebecca Aguilar.  Ms. Aguilar had worked for a local Fox station, KDFW-TV, for fourteen years when KDFW management suspended her over an alleged controversial interview, just two weeks after Ms. Aguilar was awarded Broadcast Journalist of the Year by the National Association of Hispanic Journalists.  KDFW later terminated Ms. Aguilar’s employment, purportedly because of the controversial interview, however, Mr. Kardell’s investigation has revealed that news management, in fact, retaliated against Ms. Aguilar for advocating change inside the newsroom.

Ms. Aguilar has a documented history of complaining about her employer’s treatment of minority members.  "I'm confident the EEOC will uncover what our investigation has unveiled. Fox 4 wanted my client to advocate change in the community through her reports, but to keep silent in improving working conditions in the newsroom," says Mr. Kardell.

Ms. Aguilar contacted employment lawyers at Clouse Dunn Khoshbin LLP for help in resolving the dispute with her former employer.  To discuss this matter, please contact Steve Kardell at 214.220.3888 or steve@cdklawyers.com.
