A federal judge ruled that plaintiffs in a proposed class action lack standing to pursue their suit accusing the Port Authority for New York and New Jersey of not providing on-the-job training to minority contractors.
In granting a motion to dismiss, Eastern District Judge Margo Brodie said the plaintiffs failed to show a “concrete and particularized” injury from Port Authority’s failure to provide on-the-job training or by the entity’s efforts to adhere to quotas that are conditions of federal grants.
