BOSTON/Mattapan - A woman of color is suing the City of Boston’s Parks and Recreation Department for allegedly paying her less than her white co-workers.
Claudette Bailey, who lives in Mattapan, worked as an executive assistant for the department for around 24 years until her retirement.
The suit filed at the US District Court in Boston on September 16, alleges that Bailey was paid at a lesser grade than she should have been, despite appeals to management for a raise, resulting in lower pay and a reduced pension.
