CHRO Finds Cause in Sindland Complaint

Christine Stuart and CTNewsJunkie report that the CT Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities  “found ‘reasonable cause’ in former Fox 61 reporter Shelly Sindland’s age and gender discrimination compaint against Tribune Co. last month.”

The finding by the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities gives Sindland an opportunity to pursue a public hearing where all the evidence and testimony gathered in the case will be presented again to an administrative law judge.
“I think it’s significant,” Sindland’s attorney Gregg Adler said Tuesday. “They don’t find cause that often.”
The year Sindland’s complaint was filed the commission found “reasonable cause” in only 75 of the 1,740 complaints filed.
