Attorney Blake McCartney Quoted in Equal Pay Lawsuit Coverage

We’re proud to share that Drummond Woodsum attorney Blake McCartney, a member of our Labor and Employment Practice Group, was featured in a recent Portland Press Herald article covering a significant federal lawsuit involving systemic wage discrimination in Knox County.

Blake represents two long-time victim witness advocates who are challenging unequal pay practices, alleging they’ve been paid less than a male colleague for substantially similar work over the course of more than a decade. In the article, Blake notes:

“It’s not just a one-off. It’s systemic change, as far as the equal pay and non-discrimination.”

This case underscores Blake’s commitment to advancing workplace equity.
