SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 29 – Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, has been sued for discriminating against his locally employed staff in Germany.
The case, filed in the U.S District Court for the Southern District of New York which Inner City Press covers daily since being ousted from the UN for uncovering corruption there, cites the Allegemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz, AGG, Germany's federal labor law, and says Blinken also "illegal discriminated against U.S. citizens in violation of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA).
On August 29, Inner City Press called in to the US State Department briefing, at which in 2019 and 2020 it got answers, to ask questions.
But Deputy Spokesman Vendant Patel did not take Inner City Press' questions, while taking three questions from (Blinken's) Voice of America.
Blinken is trying to get the case transferred to the District for the District of Columbia - which Inner City Press also covers.
The case (for now) is Ohlund v. Blinken, 22-cv-1005 (Schofield)
