“Tavern on the Green” Owner Sued for Pregnancy Discrimination
“Tavern on the Green” owner, Jennifer LeRoy, is being sued by a former assistant for pregnancy discrimination for firing the assistant days after finding out that the assistant was pregnant.
Jamie Mora, LeRoy’s former assistant, was hired in 2004 to be LeRoy’s personal assistant and to be available to LeRoy twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In October 2007, eight days after Mora informed LeRoy of her pregnancy, Mora was laid off without warning. She is seeking an unspecified amount in damages and backpay.
“Tavern on the Green” is currently awaiting word from City Officials as to whether its license to operate will be renewed. The license expires December 31st.
