Rick Callender, the CEO of Valley Water, is currently embroiled in a misconduct investigation while also filing his own claims of hostility and discrimination in the workplace. He is on voluntary leave pending the resolution of the issue, despite asserting his leave is not connected to the complaint against him. Callender’s attorney has requested his personnel records and is preparing legal action against Valley Water. Meanwhile, the agency is conducting an independent investigation into allegations made by an employee, while the union raises concerns over potential retaliation against its members.
I am still not aware of the specific claims of any employee against myself. This does not have anything to do with that. The letter will have to stand as it is and speak for itself.
Because it raises legal issues, we can't comment further on it.
The union cited fears of retaliation against the employee due to the unnamed leader's stature and power over the agency.
My client plans to file legal claims against Valley Water over charges of workplace retaliation and discrimination.
