Named defendants are PRCS and Santy Asanuma , its board chairman.
Chin in Civil Action No. 10-168 claimed that she has been employed as the Executive Director of the PRCS for over 14 years and that on Sept. 27 that plaintiff was advised by telephone by the board’s chairman Asanuma that her employment has been terminated because she did not sign a document called Terms of Condition.
On Sept. 15, Chin has advised Asanuma that she will not sign the document.
She claimed that Asanuma is retaliating against the plaintiff by terminating her employment.
Chin in her lawsuit has performed her duties and that Asanuma terminated her employment without the majority approval by the Board of Directors.
The plaintiff is also asking the court to rescind the 30-day suspension notice against her and that her pay is given for the period of August 27 to Sept. 27.
She is also seeking to declare that Asanuma did not have the right to discharge and terminate plaintiff from her employment.
The plaintiff is also seeking cost of court and reasonable fees from the defendants.
Asanuma in an interview said Chin’s employment has not been terminated and that she is still under suspension.
He said that the “current board wants to improve the status quo and has taken its role in directing the Executive Director to make necessary reforms in the PRCS operation which have been lacking for years.”
Chin she said was placed under performance evaluation.
He said that they will hire a lawyer to address Chin’s lawsuit.
