Rights group to try again at Cedar Rapids meeting
The Cedar Rapids Human Rights Commission resumed efforts to reorganize after quorum issues delaying revision of its ordinance. A May 30 special meeting was set to finish restructuring, while two cases earlier in spring were settled or closed with no probable cause found in others. A female employee alleged sex discrimination and breastfeeding leave, receiving a $250 settlement after reinstatement offers were declined. A black man reported higher fares and rudeness by a local public accommodation, which apologized and led to case closure.
