A former Lewis County dispatcher has filed a lawsuit against the county, claiming it violated family and domestic violence leave provisions under state law and retaliated against her for requesting time off. Jerrie M. O’Connor filed the suit against Lewis County on Jan. 24, according to court documents. The case is filed in Thurston County Superior Court. O’Connor’s complaint states that she felt forced to resign after months of retaliation, including being disciplined and investigated for taking time off under the state’s Domestic Violence Leave law. The lawsuit also accuses Lewis County staff of releasing her schedule to a man under investigation for domestic violence in which O’Connor was the victim.
