The former director of Anchorage’s Office of Equal Opportunity was fired while looking into complaints about Judy Eledge. She's now suing the city for wrongful termination, and says an 'I'm with Judy' shirt worn by the HR director backs up her claims.
Anchorage’s top library administrator was being investigated for workplace complaints. Bronson fired the investigator.
Under Eledge, several library employees said they were not comfortable bringing complaints to HR because of the director’s outspoken political views, according to Ombudsman Darrel Hess. . “They stated — they were very clear to me — they stated they did not trust HR, that the current director is very politically vocal and active and they were concerned that HR staff would feel pressured regarding any investigation.
“I don’t think that I have created a hostile environment. And I think if you ask the majority of people around here, ‘Have I?’ I don’t — I haven’t given the demands to anyone. I haven’t thrown in books off the library shelf. I get accused all the time,” she said. “It’s a little bit like if the victim showed up at a criminal trial and the judge showed up wearing a t-shirt that said, ‘The victim is lying,’” said Dunbar.
