NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Sued by Employee Claiming Gender Discrimination
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A longtime employee at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory is accusing the company of sex and gender discrimination and retaliation.
Emily Telles worked for the Los Angeles County-based JPL since 1987 and has worked in several capacities, including a part-time temporary clerk, a department assistant in the employee compensation, services, and records section, according to the lawsuit.
By 2008, she became a business operations manager position at JPL, and then later reported issues with her subordinate, Steven Flores, who she accuses of being aggressive and demeaning toward her and other women, the suit said.
