The married couple who is suing Jones Day for its allegedly discriminatory parental leave policies urged a federal court in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to reject the firm’s 37-page motion to dismiss.
In their own 50-page filing, Mark Savignac and Julia Sheketoff argued that Jones Day’s parental leave policies violate civil rights laws because birth mothers are offered eight weeks of paid disability leave but not fathers.
