Angel Alba, who worked at Malibu-area state parks, alleges his supervisors denigrated him for being Mexican and retaliated when he complained.
A former California State Parks employee is seeking roughly $4 million in a lawsuit alleging the agency discriminated against him for his Mexican heritage, prevented him from moving up in the ranks and failed to accommodate a disability, describing the case as a wake-up call for entrenched racism among some top brass.
He alleges that his disability was not accommodated, and his attorney said Alba was asked to perform work he should not have been doing with his condition. During closing arguments, Michelle Logan-Stern of the California Department of Justice, who is defending State Parks and Brody, laid out a counter-narrative in which Alba came up short at work and tried to undermine his bosses.
