The San Francisco (Calif.) board of supervisors is scheduled to approve a $762,000 settlement payment today for a lawsuit filed by a public safety dispatcher alleging sexual harassment, gender discrimination, retaliation and computer crimes. Anne Raskin claims in her lawsuit that starting in 2002 she was treated unfairly by the night-shift supervisors, called names and harassed. In 2008 she openly complained about mismanagement at the city’s comm center that handles police, fire and EMS incidents. However, her supervisors ignored her complaints, her lawsuit states, and began retaliating against her. In 2009 she became the focus of an internal investigation, and the primary evidence was Yahoo emails that Moyland says the city illegally accessed from her personal account. Raskin filed a federal lawsuit in 2010 and asked for $3 million in damages. Earlier this year a federal court jury found for Raskin, and held both the city and two comm center supervisors liable for damages. Now the board of supervisors is expected to consider the settlement payment at its meeting today. Download (pdf) the lawsuit complaint, the city’s answer and selected court documents here.
