In Beecher v. Northwell Health, EDNY 16-cv-4190, plaintiff alleges gender discrimination, hostile work environment, and retaliation.
Among plaintiff’s allegations were that defendant’s Administrative Director, Nelson Mercurio, “went out of his way to catch the female staff members wearing scented products and, upon information and belief, was observed smelling the female staff in an effort to reprimand them for wearing scented products” and that “[i]f any of his female subordinates deviated from his unilaterally implemented regulations, they were harshly punished and written up for insubordination.”
