Employment Law: Right-To-Sue Letter-Race Discrimination-Second Charge

Staff Report//August 13, 2019//

Listen to this article

Where an employer challenged the state’s acceptance of a second charge of discrimination from a former employee, the judgment is affirmed because the second charge did not relate to the same practice or act described in the first charge, and the Missouri Commission on Human Rights acted within its statutory authority by issuing a right-to-sue letter for the second charge.

Judgment is affirmed.

Clarkson Construction Co. v. Warren (MLW No. 73715/Case No. WD82155 – 8 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, Pfeiffer, J.) Appealed from circuit court, Cole County, Beetem, J. (Shelley I. Ericsson and Kevin W. Prewitt, Kansas City, Missouri, for appellant) (Eric S. Schmitt, Jefferson City, and Vanessa Howard Ellis, St. Louis, for respondents).
