Filner Says He Never Received Sexual Harassment Training

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner’s (D) legal strategy “appears to be to shift blame on the city for his alleged inappropriate behavior toward women because he didn’t receive sexual harassment training as required under the municipal code,” the San Diego Union Tribune reports.

Filner’s attorney said the city “has a legal obligation to provide such training to all management-level employees within six months of being hired. Berger said Filner was scheduled to receive the training, but it was canceled by the coordinator and never rescheduled.”
