This past week, my employer, @latimes, sent this statement to various news outlets. Imagine telling the first Latinx food critic @latimes that that they deserve to make less than their co-critic because they are not experienced or prestigious enough to write about Los Angeles food culture.

Last night, after nearly 6 anxious months of being told "the company will have a response for you shortly," my employer, @latimes, finally handed me a decision on the pay discrimination claim I filed through my union. The two-page memo that @latimes sent me yesterday was extremely painful to read.

In the memo, the L.A. Times said I am not worth the same as my male or white colleagues.

A few people sent me this recent story about the @latimes agreeing to pay out a $3 million settlement for pay discrimination based on race and gender.
latimes.com/entertainment-… I was not part of that case.

But I have been petitioning a similar pay discrimination case, because I make much less than my white or male colleagues.

I was told I would get an answer to my grievance last week.
