Camargo v. California Portland Cement Co.green

2007The high court held that an adverse decision by the arbitrator does not bar a subsequent claim under title VII by an employee, who pursued the grievance “to final arbitration under the nondiscrimination clause of a [CBA].” (Alexander, at pp. 44, 49.) In Camargo v. California Portland Cement Co. (2001) 86 Cal.App.4th 995, 1006 [ 103 Cal.Rptr.2d 841 ] (Camargo), the court adopted the conclusion in Alexander and applied it to the FEHA, determining that a CBA-mandated arbitration has no preclusive effect on FEHA claims.
