LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - Discrimination complaints leveled by a union against a southern New Mexico District Attorney’s office have been dismissed.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reports prohibited practices complaints against the office of Third Judicial District Attorney Mark D’Antonio were tossed this week in a ruling by Public Employee Labor Relations Board director Thomas Griego.
The decision could settle a case brought by the Communications Workers of America, the labor union that represented the prosecuting attorneys for just one year. The labor board still must accept Griego’s ruling at its March meeting.
In a 74-page ruling, Griego set aside claims of sexual harassment and discrimination brought by employees who were disciplined for displaying “No Mansplaining” signs on their doors.
Instead, he focused on whether the union showed that three female attorneys were discriminated against because of their union activity.
