Duckett-Holmes
Court Document:
NY Manhattan Duckett-Holmes Labor Complaint, filed 10.11.24
Excerpt:
- On or about September 27, 2021, PPGNY hired Plaintiff as Regional Director of Operations . . . based at the Manhattan location . . .
- Throughout Plaintiff’s employment, she was subjected to a continuing pattern and practice of discrimination and hostile work environment based upon her race, color, and gender and in retaliation for complaining about PPGNY’s discriminatory actions and other wrongdoing, and for being absent from work due to valid protected leave under the FMLA . . .
- By way of example, PPGNY required Plaintiff to endure brutal and unsafe working conditions due to her race, color, and gender. Specifically, Plaintiff was forced by her supervisor, . . . to work every single day of the months of October and November 2022 without a day off as a charge nurse.
- PPGNY’s requirements in this regard were clearly discriminatory on these bases, because PPGNY did not require similarly situated white, Caucasian, or male employees to work slave-like hours doing work that was effectively a demotion.
- In or around the end of October 2022, Plaintiff engaged in protected conduct by complaining . . .
- In fact, in response to Claimant’s complaint, PPGNY began a targeted campaign against Claimant in retaliation for this protected conduct, including subjecting her to an increased and disproportionately burdensome workload.
- Plaintiff suffered a stress-induced medical event as a result of this retaliatory misconduct that necessitated her taking FMLA leave from work on or about March 27, 2023, to about May 22, 2023, when she returned to work.
- Following her return, and in violation of the FMLA, Plaintiff was placed in a substantively different role than the one she had prior to her job-protected medical leave, a role that would require significantly more stress and responsibility than the role she worked prior to her leave of absence . . .
- The new responsibilities being hazardous to her health, on June 6, 2023, Plaintiff was constructively terminated effective July 7, 2023 . . .
- While Plaintiff’s employment with PPGNY was a harrowing, traumatic experience, the events complained of herein do not reflect a unique incident, as rudimentary internet research paints a similarly distressing picture of discriminatory abuse and misconduct5 by PPGNY6 and those occupying the most powerful positions within PPGNY . . .
- As a result of PPGNY’s unlawful and discriminatory actions, Plaintiff has endured unlawful humiliation resulting in extreme emotional distress, severe depression, extreme anxiety, and physical ailments.
