Angela C. Snyder, a former employee of Ranson, West Virginia, has filed a lawsuit against the city and Police Chief Robbie R. Roberts, alleging sexual harassment and unlawful termination. Snyder claims that during her tenure as an administrative assistant and court clerk, she faced derogatory language and discrimination, particularly while addressing her medical condition during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her complaint details a hostile work environment characterized by gender-based harassment and suggests that her concerns about workplace safety and harassment led to retaliatory behavior, culminating in her termination just days before scheduled surgery. The case highlights significant workplace issues within Ranson's city management and police department, marking a notable legal challenge in the local community as detailed by the West Virginia Record.
