DHS/CIS - Recently, the Local completed a settlement agreement concerning a denial of promotion where a manager clearly attempted to denigrate the qualifications and merit of a bargaining unit employee’s application, in favor of the applicant that the manager desired for the position. Although, as is common in settlements, the agency admitted no offense, the agreement promotes the employee to the pay level and career ladder the employee would have achieved had the manager not taken the actions in this case. 090612
