Lynne Bernabei of Bernabei & Kabat, PLLC, appeared in a segment by Pete Williams last week on the NBC Nightly News. The piece documented the recent case filed by the Federal Government against Bloomberg, the financial news company. The suit, formally brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), claims that Bloomberg discriminated against pregnant employees and new mothers who had come back to work, expecting to return to their same job. The EEOC says employees were given less responsibility, took pay cuts, were left out of meetings and have had their commitment questioned. Lynne, a highly respected employment attorney, was asked to comment.
The story aired on the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams September 27, 2007. It can be seen here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032076/?ta=y, in the health video’s section.
The story is called “More Moms Depressed”.
