In a recently-filed lawsuit, Last v. Consolidated Edison (SDNY 16-cv-00468), plaintiff Jovira Last asserts that she experienced sex-based discrimination at her employer, Con Edison, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the New York City Human Rights Law. The complaint refers to “ConEd’s negative and stereotyped view of women employees” and ConEd’s “gender-biased and stereotyped view of women negatively impacted [plaintiff]’s employment at ConEd and was a substantial motivating factor in the decision to terminate her employment.”
