Termination not retaliatory, judge rules
On Dec. 18, 2012, a judge sided with a school district that was sued by a former employee who claimed she was fired in retaliation. Alma Guzman-Estrada was a maintenance manager for the Southside Independent School District in San Antonio. She claimed she was terminated for complaining about receiving lower pay than men holding comparable positions. Defense counsel argued that Guzman-Estrada was terminated solely for performance concerns, specifically personal conflicts with subordinates and superiors and unprofessional behavior.
