Fulton County must pay librarians $25 million

Bob Cox sent along This One on a ruling that Fulton County, GA, must pay nearly $25 million for discriminating against eight white librarians.


The librarians contended they were demoted to smaller branch libraries from jobs in the more desirable central branch because of a concentrated effort to reduce the number of white employees working downtown.

\”It appeared there was a cover-up,\” Hughes said. \”They were managers who all were demoted. They were demeaned and humiliated. . . . They weren\’t treated how professional employees of the Atlanta-Fulton Library System should be treated.\”
