AG Kane's administration hit with discrimination complaint from twin sister
HARRISBURG — Since Attorney General Kathleen Kane took office in 2013, her administration has been pulled into court and labor hearings by employees claiming they were unfairly or illegally demoted, suspended or fired in violation of union contracts or the constitution.
Now Kane's office faces another labor complaint — from her twin sister.
Ellen Granahan, a chief deputy attorney general, has filed a wage and gender discrimination complaint against the Office of Attorney General, according to a federal document reviewed by The Morning Call.
Ms. Granahan's $88,509 salary is 17 to 37 percent lower than what agency lawyers with similar titles earn, she claims in a complaint filed Dec. 30 with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The EEOC gave Kane's administration until May 12 to respond to the allegations that it is violating the federal Civil Rights Act and state Human Relations Act by not paying Ms. Granahan the same rate as some men and women.
