THE U.S. District Court will
have a scheduling conference for the complaint filed by a Port Authority
of Guam employee against 10 Government of Guam officials handling the
operation of the port.
Counsels for the defendants and the plaintiff were ordered to meet within
15 days to discuss the case.
Anthony Q. Sanders sued the 10 unnamed officials last month, citing unlawful
employment practices and discrimination when the Port Authority of Guam
failed to promote him.
A proposed scheduling order and proposed discovery plan shall be lodged
on or before April 20.
Counsel for plaintiff must take the lead in the preparation of the scheduling
order and all attorneys, including the pro se litigants, are expected
to attend a scheduling conference on May 4 at 10:30 a.m.
Sanders complained that during all relevant times, GovGuam management
personnel were very much aware of the discrimination against him yet ignored
the discrimination complaint and continued to fail to adequately supervise
the workplace or to train employees to prevent such discrimination.
As a result of the alleged unfair labor practice, the plaintiff said he
suffered substantial losses in earnings, job experience, and other employee
benefits that he would have received if the defendants did not breach
their agreement in the employment contract.
