The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission hoped to show that Bloomberg LP retaliated against employees who took maternity leave. Instead, the federal agency once again finds itself in the hot seat over its litigation conduct.
Southern District Judge Loretta Preska, in EEOC v. Bloomberg, 07 civ. 8383, dismissed the vast majority of the EEOC's pregnancy bias claims against Bloomberg in twin rulings issued on Monday. She encouraged Bloomberg to seek attorney fees from the EEOC, ruling that the agency fell down on its obligation to provide Bloomberg with notice of the claims against it and give it an opportunity to settle. The ruling is a win for defense lawyers including Thomas Golden of Willkie Farr & Gallagher and Eric Dreiband of Jones Day.
