Mass. SJC Backs Brookline Firefighter Who Alleged Racist Workplace – NECN


The ruling expanded civil rights protection in the workplace for government employees. The court authorized the Civil Service Commission to consider discriminatory work practices and the harshness of the work environment when reviewing a municipality's decision to fire someone.
"The commission may find that the employer is responsible for the intolerable workplace conditions, including racist and retaliatory acts, that have rendered the employee unfit to perform his or her duties and resulted in the employee's discharge, and therefore the employee's unfitness is not just cause for his or her termination," the court wrote.
The dispute dates to 2010 when Alston's superior mistakenly left a voicemail for Alston in which he referred to a motorist who had cut off his son with a racial epithet. The supervisor apologized but was subsequently promoted.

High Court Rules Brookline Firefighter Was Wrongfully Fired After Reporting Racist Work Environment

BROOKLINE (CBS) – This week, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court said Gerald Alston was wrongfully fired after complaining of a racist work environment at the Brookline Fire Department.
“The truth is the truth and I knew it was going to come to the surface and right now it vindicates me, it fills me with joy,” Alston said.
Vindication, but not justice. The former Brookline firefighter said he’s relieved his truth has been validated by the state’s highest court.
“I was relying on my union to step up and help and they didn’t do so either. I feel as though like there has to be something in place for the little people,” Alston said.

BOSTON (AP) — The highest court in Massachusetts in a decision released Tuesday sided with a former firefighter who has been involved in a yearslong battle with the town of Brookline over what he said was a racist work environment.
The Supreme Judicial Court said the town was wrong when it terminated Gerald Alston, who is Black, after he refused to return to work and stopped communicating with the department, which he said was due to a fear of working in a racially hostile environment, The Boston Globe reported.
The court also backed the state Civil Service Commission, which ordered Alston reinstated in 2019.

The state’s high court Tuesday unanimously sided with a former Brookline firefighter who has been battling with the town since 2010 over what he has called a racist work environment that was allowed to flourish in the wealthy community’s fire department.
The Supreme Judicial Court said the town was wrong when it terminated Gerald Alston after he refused to return to the job and stopped communicating with the department, a refusal Alston linked to his fear of working in a racially hostile environment. Alston also acknowledged using cocaine, the court said, which the town cited when its Select Board fired him in 2016.

Nearly a year after George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police, proposals to overhaul local law enforcement and root out systemic racism are making headway in several Greater Boston communities.
In Brookline, a passionate debate over how to rethink policing led the Select Board to form two panels — one a “reforms” committee, the other a task force to “reimagine” policing. Each has developed its own set of recommended changes for the town’s police department.
