The ongoing trial against the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) features former officer Elias Georgopoulos, who claims harassment, racism, and discrimination plagued his workplace. Georgopoulos' allegations surfaced after his first case resulted in a mistrial. He recounts being subjected to slurs and told to speak English due to being Latino. Despite his claims, the SFMTA argues he demonstrated anger issues, citing prior incidents. Testimonies indicated the agency's attempts to resolve conflicts, including offering counseling and recommending anger management courses for Georgopoulos. The case raises questions about workplace culture and internal conflict resolutions.
"A lack of internal conflict resolution at the agency allowed a culture of harassment to fester that eventually targeted Georgopoulos with racist jabs and retaliation."
"SFMTA has counselors available for employees and had asked Georgopoulos to take anger management courses; if that fails, progressive discipline is implemented."
