EEOC vs. Ocean City

On behalf of the plaintiff, Anthony Indge, the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently initiated a lawsuit for discrimination in the workplace.

Ultimately, the position was given to a less qualified and younger candidate.

The complaint also alleges that Ocean City retaliated against the worker when he made a formal complaint. The damages that are being sought include back wages and monetary relief. In addition, policy changes are requested.
