Inga Bernstein, Monica Shah, and Naomi Shatz Settle Sex Discrimination Suit Against Commonwealth

In May 2014, the firm obtained a very favorable settlement for a Department of Correction employee who alleged that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Governor’s Office, the Executive Office for Public Safety and Security, and the Department of Correction discriminated and retaliated against her on the basis of her political beliefs, her request for protected medical leave, and her complaints that the Commonwealth failed to pay her promised pay raise when she was promoted to a higher position and paid her substantially less than her male counterparts for equal work.
