Veterans Sue BPA for Hiring Discrimination

gavelPORTLAND, OR — Bonneville Power Administration faces two more lawsuits alleging hiring discrimination.  This comes as BPA is already dealing with two other discrimination suits.

The suit alleges that Johnson was passed over for three positions despite being highly qualified.  Madonna Radcliff filed a discrimination suit in September.
