Fired Lifeguard Won't Get Second Chance to Sue City
Lawsuits alleging discrimination and harassment, retaliation, and defamation are surprisingly common in private, as well as public employment. More often, the employers settle to avoid the hassle and risk of an adverse judgment. I applaud the principled stand of the City of San Diego, the City Attorney and the Lifeguard Service to avoid sweeping this under the rug and to instead take the time and substantial resources to make a point: If you don't meet our standards, you can't work here. I would note that Sgt. Harris is a union representative who works hard to represent his members, but he carefully separated his responsibilities here.— April 13, 2012 5 p.m.
