Michigan Woman Sues U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for Alleged Workplace Discrimination

An Ann Arbor woman is suing the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, claiming workplace discrimination.

Dena Leth filed the federal lawsuit, saying she endured three years of a toxic work environment while working in the VA’s public safety division. Leth said she faced continuous race and gender-based hostility from supervisors and co-workers, leaving her feeling powerless and undervalued.

“I’m standing here not only for myself, but for all women, and anyone who feels marginalized,” said Leth at a press conference at her lawyer’s office. “This is a situation where I don’t want to be hushed. I asked God to turn anger into advocacy, and that’s exactly why I’m standing up to advocate for others.”
