in U.S. District Court in Hammond Aug. 15 and, in addition to Mayor Matt Murphy and former city administrator Mike Jessen, also named the consulting firm Organizational Development Solutions, Inc., and its president, Desila Rosetti.She says she was discriminated against in pay and working conditions because of her gender and her salary that is thousands of dollars less than her male counterparts in the same job classification.
“We are here to bring attention to how unfairly many workplaces are to women who are doing the same jobs for less pay,” said Emily Travis of Valparaiso, one of the protesters who joined the sign march. “The city insurance coverage has accepted the claim associated with the lawsuit and will cover the costs,” Lyp said.
“It is unlikely this lawsuit will be resolved quickly. There are people of good will here in the council chambers this evening who have questions and concerns.” “Us being here tonight has nothing to do with the politics of the employee who filed the lawsuit. Look at our signs and it explains exactly why we are here. Equal pay for all employees.”
