Bailey v City & County of San Francisco (S265223)
This case raises the issue of whether an employer can be held liable under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) for one utterance of a racial slur by one employee to another employee when the offending employee was promptly disciplined, and the no further incidents occurred. CSAC’s amicus brief, drafted by Ryan McGinley-Stempel of the Renne Public Law Group in San Francisco, argues against such a strict liability standard.
