前員工係一位擁有美國永久居留權之墨西哥公民
A former CBS employee claims that she was discriminated against because she's a Mexican citizen and fired in retaliation for complaining about it, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in New York federal court.
前CBS員工星期一在紐約聯邦法院起訴,控告其遭歧視,肇因其因係墨西哥公民而被報復開除。
"The essence of Ms. Solache's claim is that Defendant treated her differently from other employees, underpaid her because of her national origin, failed to give her a title or salary commensurate with her position and responsibilities, and, when Ms. Solache questioned the manner in which she was being treated, Defendants retaliated against her by manufacturing a pretext for its termination of Ms. Solache's employment," states the complaint.
Ms.Solache起訴主軸是因其母國之故,而受到與其他員工不一樣之對待與薪資,未給付與其職務及責任對稱之報酬,當Ms.Solache質疑其被對待之方式,被告就終止Ms.Solach受雇關係,以一套不利原告之說詞寫在答辯狀裏。
Maria Solache began working at CBS in December 2014 as a director of international treasury, according to the complaint, and was paid $150,000 a year. Her responsibilities included overseeing foreign trading and international bank accounts, tracking global economic market conditions and supporting international finance teams.
根據訴狀,Maria Solache在2014年12月即在CBS擔任國際財務部門之主管,年薪15萬美元。她的職務包括監管外國交易、國際銀行帳號、追蹤全球經濟市場情狀,同時支援國際財經團隊。
Solache says the Department of Labor notified CBS that the prevailing wage for her role was more than 40 percent higher than she was being paid. The company increased her salary to $227,000, but lowered it again when it "was confident that the eyes of DOL were no longer upon it."
Solache說道,其被勞動部門告知:其所領取的薪資遠比與其他居於同樣職位者,還要高出40%;該公司調升其薪資至每年22萬七千美元,但其後非常有理由相信美國勞動部會關注員工薪資與職位不相稱情事時,再次調降。
After she complained about her title and salary not being commensurate with her peers, Solache says she was terminated for insubordination allegedly in connection with making a trade without approval.
在她向被告抱怨得到與其職位顯不相當之薪資後,她即因被告宣稱其未得許可而進行交易,不服從上級指令而被開除。
CBS has not replied to a request for a comment in response to the complaint, which is posted below.
