Former labor VP, Ana Avendaño, said she was fired after Richard Trumka, the president of the AFL-CIO, complained about her work on sexual harassment within the labor movement.
“Trumka objected to me ‘defaming good guys who have passed through his shop’ and ‘got caught up in the #MeToo https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> stuff,’” Avendaño said she was told by the CEO of United Way.

The nonprofit fired her b/c they said she was bullying her employees. Painting her as an & #39;angry Latina.& #39;
She describes a meeting with HR in which they told her, "It& #39;s your tone" and "you& #39;re very aggressive".. they told her she was "reacting emotionally."
Another woman, chief marketing officer Lisa Bowman complained about the "creepy" behavior of a peer. There were multiple complaints about him made to HR.

She was fired. The HR person investigating complaints against this man lost their job.

The man has been promoted.
