In a reversal of the lower court, a state appeals court has reinstated a claim for racial employment discrimination leveled by a Black former assistant manager against the hugely popular Carlo’s Bakery location near Times Square and that store’s senior general manager.
The reinstatement of the state law and city law-based claim comes despite the plaintiff apparently mislabeling her lawsuit’s discrimination cause of action as one rooted in a “hostile workplace,” when her complaint describes a single incident and a next-day firing.
