A. Silva’s Allegations
Silva was hired as a maintenance worker in 2011. In August 2017, while he was on temporary assignment in the Right-of-Way Division, he applied for a permanent associate agent position within the division. He interviewed for the position with the division’s deputy director for District 8, Rebecca Guirado, then on October 17, 2017, Guirado told Silva that despite her having vouched for him, the company decided to hire someone else. Later that day, Silva filed an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) complaint alleging he had been passed over for the position based on discriminatory reasons.
