More Bloomberg women say they were discriminated against
Reuters reports that the number of pregnant women at news and financial data company Bloomberg LP who claim to have suffered sex discrimination has grown to 58 from three.
EEOC lawyer Raechel Adams told a federal judge at a pre-trial hearing that since her agency filed its suit in September, the number of pregnant women who have said their duties were reduced, or that they had been excluded from employment opportunities had risen to 58.
The EEOC lawsuit claims the company discriminated against pregnant employees by cutting their pay and demoting them. It also claims the women were paid less when they returned from maternity leave and were demoted and replaced by "junior" male employees.
The EEOC is asking the court to award back pay and provide compensation for both past and future monetary losses. A trial is expected in the fall.
