Ex-dispatcher claims race, age discrimination

SANDPOINT — A former 911 dispatcher filed a charge of discrimination Monday against Bonner County.
Diana Elsfelder contends she was ousted from her job as a senior telecommunications specialist because of her race and age. Elsfelder is a 54-year-old Native American.
Elsfelder further asserts that her firing was retaliatory.
The Idaho Human Rights Commission and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed the charge on Elsfelder’s behalf. The charge can serve as a prelude to a job discrimination lawsuit.
