Former employee accuses Florida GOP, RNC of discrimination
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - A former Florida field director is accusing the Florida Republican Party of racial discrimination in a federal lawsuit.
Nadia Naffe says she was fired from her job, which she held from August 2003 to April of this year, after she complained about being assigned to work with black organizations, events and issues.
Naffe, 25, of Tampa, was the only black field director at the time. She said she was told, "You understand your people." After refusing the assignments, Naffe said she was called insubordinate and "not a team player."
She contacted the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and was soon after fired.
