Wadsworth Federal Credit Union was previously sued by a former assistant manager who alleged that she was terminated because of her gender and replaced by the all male board of directors with a male counter part.

The woman discharged assistant manager had been a 10 year veteran employee at the credit union.

Price initially filed a formal complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) while still employed at the credit union. Price alleged that she had been denied a promotion due to her gender.

The EEOC dismissed the first complaint and found that the credit union had not discriminated against Price.

After the EEOC dismissed Price’s first complaint, the credit union fired Price. She filed another complaint with the EEOC which was also dismissed.
