Chicago Fire Department to Pay $11.25 Million in Sexist Hiring Lawsuit Settlement for Paramedics
Jul 11, 2024, 09:41 PM
Chicago taxpayers will spend $11.25 million to compensate a dozen women who were hired as paramedics but flunked out of the fire academy due to a discriminatory physical agility test. The lawsuit alleges that the Chicago Fire Department used unnecessary physical tests to block women from becoming paramedics. The proposed settlement aims to address these discriminatory practices. The sexist hiring lawsuit claims the test was concocted by instructors after a biased pre-hiring test was scrapped.
