Eaton case may finally be finished
Iowa City officials ended an 18 month dispute with Linda Eaton by a 6 to 1 vote after dropping their appeal of a Civil Rights Commission ruling. The city had suspended Eaton for breastfeeding during breaks, and a court had ordered damages including wages and legal costs. The council lamented procedural errors but left open the possibility of future civil action over co worker harassment claims.
