Former KBTV morning anchor Rocio Garza filed suit against the station, claiming it required her to pay $10,000 to resign.
According to The Southeast Texas Record, in the suit Rocio claims she was unhappy with her progress at work and opted to leave, until management reminded her that a clause in her contract stipulates she had to pay $10,000 if she left before the end of her employment term. She decided to stay. Rocio claims she was then demoted to weekend weather.
Rocio is looking to have the contract deemed unenforceable, in addition to damages, attorney’s fees and other costs.
