In amended suit, BMF employee alleging pregnancy discrimination claims she's not alone
Posted in: Uncategorized
Last month, an employee of experiential marketing agency BMF filed a lawsuit claiming that the agency’s leaders reneged on her promotion after she told the company she was pregnant and planned to take maternity leave. Now, the employee has filed an amended suit claiming other women have faced discriminatory actions pertaining to gender and pregnancy at the agency.
The amended complaint, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, claims that after Ashley Berg’s suit was filed in February, a “number of women came forward to express they have felt discriminated against because of their gender and/or pregnancy status by BMF and its all-male leadership.”
The amended suit names BMF and founding partners Brian Feit and Bruce Starr, managing partner Ed Starr and chief operating officer Eric Brunman and alleges various violations of labor, family and medical leave and human rights laws.
