| Class Action Case Decision | |
| Frank
Law Offices, is currently involved in a class action law suit against
the Department of Transitional Assistance (formally known as the Department
of Public Welfare). It is the first class action to be tried before
the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination (MCAD). On behalf of more than 150 bi-lingual Hispanic social workers who work for the Department, Attorney Donald W. Frank has alleged these individuals are burdened with requests to perform translation services for clients, in addition to their regular duties and without compensation. Since this work load falls primarily on social workers who are Hispanic, it unduly burdens the right of these individuals to be free from discrimination based on their national origin. The case is still in litigation at the MCAD. See the Recent Opinion from the MCAD (pdf) Complainants' Appeal Brief (pdf) Final Decision of the Commissioners - Part 1 (pdf) Final Decision of the Commissioners - Part 2 (pdf) |
