Nonprofit Workers’ Dignity sues former director

The steering committee and board of local workers’ center Workers’ Dignity found itself struggling against its recently fired executive director — and they're now taking the fight to court.

The board terminated Cecilia Prado on March 6, and the move was met with resistance as staffers went on strike and occupied Workers' Dignity headquarters on Whitsett Road. Virtual spaces were occupied as well — Prado and staffers maintained control of the Workers’ Dignity social media accounts and used the platform to push back against the board’s actions as well as lobbing various accusations of misconduct. An account claiming to represent the board, @dignidadcondignidad, has since been activated to contest Prado’s allegations.
