Camille Mirkin v. Winston Resources, LLC 07-CV-2734

Personnel Placement Firm, Winston Resources, LLC, Sued For Pregnancy, FMLA and Age Discrimination by Top Account Manager.

(PRWEB) May 28, 2007 -- On April 4, 2007, plaintiff, Camille Mirkin, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against her former employer Winston Resources, LLC ("Winston"), a leading personnel placement firm, servicing clients including Proskauer Rose; Beth Israel Hospital and J.P. Morgan Chase. Ms. Mirkin was a highly successful recruiter at Winston, who had been employed for eight years, when she was allegedly discriminated against by her employer for taking FMLA leave to recuperate from infertility treatments.

The complaint alleges violations of federal, New York State and New York City anti-discrimination laws. It alleges that in addition to discriminating against Ms. Mirkin on the basis of her FMLA leave, that Winston also discriminated against her because of her subsequent pregnancy, and because of her age. Ms. Mirkin also alleges that when she complained about the discriminatory conduct, Winston retaliated against her and ultimately fired her.

Prior to her FMLA leave, Ms. Mirkin had serviced the staffing needs, without criticism from her employer, for such prominent financial institutions as Citibank and J.P. Morgan Chase & Company.
Even after her pregnancy, the complaint alleges that Ms. Mirkin won the only sales contest that Winston had sponsored during her eight year tenure. But even then, management declined to acknowledge her stellar performance, and delayed paying her award for months.
