A Kansas City, Mo., firefighter who was awarded $50,000 in a sexual discrimination suit in 2001 has filed a new complaint against the Fire Department for what she says is a lack of suitable female facilities within some fire stations.
Battalion Chief Kathleen Kline filed the complaint with the Missouri Commission on Human Rights and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission earlier this month. Besides the facilities issue, she alleges that she was denied a station-trade request earlier this summer in retaliation for her previous successful legal fights.
