Becker Defends New Mother Accusing Former Employer of Pregnancy Bias
Becker successfully advocated for our client – a former sales executive with Nice Systems, Inc. – and helped her win the right to present her story of discrimination and retaliation before a trial. Employment litigator Jamie Dokovna represented new mom Stacey Malo, while counsel for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) presented their objective evaluation of the alleged actions of the software company. In their final order, a Florida federal court agreed with the majority of the EEOC’s claims of pregnancy bias and refused the software company’s request to dismiss several key points.
“The order just confirms what we’ve known all along that Nice isn’t very nice at all,” Dokovna told Law360. “It’s particularly telling that the court found direct evidence of discrimination.”
