Bsean 150 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Last week, Sandra Maas overcame a hurdle in her lawsuit against KUSI: https://timesofsandiego-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/timesofsandiego.com/business/2020/09/21/veteran-anchor-sandra-maas-wins-legal-skirmish-in-kusi-pay-equity-case/amp/?amp_js_v=a2&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&_tf=From %1%24s&share=https%3A%2F%2Ftimesofsandiego.com%2Fbusiness%2F2020%2F09%2F21%2Fveteran-anchor-sandra-maas-wins-legal-skirmish-in-kusi-pay-equity-case%2F Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/17977-sandra-maas-lawsuit-against-kusi/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technically A Director 164 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 It's a shame lawsuits like this become a long, drawn out ordeal. Based solely on the info in this article, I'd say she has a more or less open-shut case against KUSI. Just because age and gender aren't discussed doesn't mean they weren't a factor, and to be paid that much less than those who are younger, less experienced, and male is quite the slap in the face. Asking to be treated equally (i.e, pay) and being let go is pretty blatant, unless they have hard and fast proof of the things they claim.

Bsean 150 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Share Posted September 23, 2020 Yeah, I agree. And the real slap in the face was when they told her basically we don't think you can adapt to our new style of anchoring... If that's not ageism, I don't know what is.

tvtime07 252 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Congratulations to Sandra, I always remembered her to have a strong presence on the San Diego airwaves. This is a huge victory towards equal pay for women and minorities. I am glad she spoke up and fought the fight, this is a common struggle for many and the dialogue should be out in the open for those in the industry. Would love to see her back if she's given a chance elsewhere.
