Grecia Figueroa lost her job as a Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) public relations specialist on Feb. 6, 2023, the same day County Supervisor and then-MTS Board Chairman Nathan Fletcher announced his candidacy for the California State Senate.
Figueroa filed a complaint in San Diego Superior Court against MTS and Fletcher on March 28. That day, Fletcher resigned as MTS Board Chairman. He later also resigned from the Board of Supervisors.
Figueroa connects Fletcher’s conduct to her job by claiming she “feared she would lose her job if anyone found out she was being pressured sexually by the senior-ranking official at MTS…the Board Chair.” Figueroa also claims she responded playfully to most of Fletcher’s unwelcome Instagram messages because, as MTS Board Chairman, Fletcher was “the pinnacle managing agent of her employer.”
Fletcher was employed by the County of San Diego, not MTS. If, as Figueroa alleges, Fletcher’s position as MTS Chair made him a “managing agent of MTS,” that will be enough to prove MTS knew of his conduct. If not, she will have the heavier burden of proving other MTS officials knew or should have known of his allegedly unlawful conduct to establish MTS’s liability.
