Former Cambridge, Massachusetts Worker Wins Fight Against City Hall and is Awarded 4.5 Million Dollars in Discrimination Suit

James Vaznis of the Boston Globe reports,

A Middlesex Superior Court jury has decided that the City of Cambridge should pay a former employee more than $4.5 million, after the jury found that the city retaliated against the woman for filing a discrimination case nearly 10 years ago. ...

The jury included $3.5 million in punitive damages. The city intends to appeal.

Massachusetts law does not allow employers to retaliate against employees for their discrimination complaints.
