A 60-year-old nurse has filed a federal lawsuit against Norwalk Hospital, claiming he was fired because of his gender, age and religion.

Oliver Wellington, who filed the workplace discrimination lawsuit in Bridgeport Thursday afternoon in the U.S. District Court of Connecticut, claims he was treated differently because he was a man in a hospital where the vast majority of the nurses were female. Wellington, who is Jewish, also claimed the hospital was forcing him to work Saturdays, which is a holy day in his religion.
