A New York City bus
In a $20 million discrimination lawsuit lodged against the New York City Transportation Authority by an African American former bus driver, a state appeals court has knocked down the transit authority and MTA Bus Co.’s attempt to dismiss a major portion of the woman’s lawsuit centered on the agencies allegedly disciplining her repeatedly—including with dismissal—based on discriminatory reasons.
To date, the agencies have not tried to dismiss another major portion of plaintiff Ke’Andrea Nelson’s case focused on allegations that she endured years of a hostile work environment at the LaGuardia Bus Depot in Queens that, according to her complaint, consisted of “blatant racism and gender discrimination, as if LaGuardia Depot existed in an era before the human rights laws.”
