Racial discrimination case filed against the town of Greenwich (theoriginalgreenwichdiva)
In a discrimination complaint that was filed by Ronald Harding against the town of Greenwich, Connecticut, the utility worker claims he was willfully discriminated against by the town, three of its employees and his union. Harding, who also has a pending lawsuit in federal court against the town, filed his new complaint on May 11, with the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities.
In the documents that were filed with CHRO, the Greenwich resident, who has worked for the town since 1991, says Joseph A. Sicilian, Director of Parks and Recreation; Alfred C. Cava, Director of the Department of Labor Relations; Mary Jo Ianuccilli, Assistant director of Human Resources and Teamsters & Chauffeurs Union No 456, "aided and abetted my employer in discriminating against me."
Harding says although he is "an experienced skilled tree climber" with his own tree business, the town refuses to promote him to a tree climber, a position which is a skilled job and pays considerably more than the position he has held since 1991.
He said not only is he qualified for the position, but for several years Greenwich's Operations Manager worked for his company. According to the complaint, two years prior to working for the town, Harding applied for a tree climber position but the job was given to a "white man."
He said he took the position as a utility worker with hopes of becoming a tree climber. In 1997 when a tree climber position became available
Harding claims he applied for the job but he was told that he needed a Commercial Drivers License (CDL) in order to take "the written test". At that time he says he did not have the license so the position was given to a "white man."
