Nine New York Times (NYT) employees, including a Jewish man, have filed a legal complaint against theie employer alleging racial and religious discrimination at the paper’s New Jersey printing plant. Their lawsuit includes complaints that supervisors aimed racial and religious epithets at employees or ignored such epithets coming from others, and that Hispanic, black, and Jewish employees were denied seniority rights, promotions and pay scales commensurate with their years of service as well as plum assignments that would have enabled them to pick up overtime pay. The newspaper maintained “a hostile and pervasive work environment” based upon “the widespread use of racial and religious epithets” and the “disparate treatment” of employees “based upon race, color, national origin, and religion,” according to the papers filed. The NYT management has denied the allegations.
