SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 2 – The New York Times has
been sued for racial
discrimination by long time
Art Director Bernadette
Dashiell, previously of the
Newark Star-Ledger.
The case,
wheeled out to U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Paul A. Engelmayer, has been
reviewed in the docket by
Inner City Press, which covers
SDNY daily.
Dashiell's
complaint cites discrimination
in employment on the basis of
race, gender and age, "as well
as 'intersectional' or 'race
plus gender'
discrimination."
The
complaint recounts that
Dashiell "was assigned
responsibility for the
Thursday Styles Section, a
part of Features."
And, "Plaintiff's
pay has been lower than
similarly situated employees
who were non-Black, male or
younger than Plaintiff, since
at least 2006."
To that,
the New York Times responded
"Defendant denies the
allegations contained in
Paragraph 70 of the
Complaint."
On November 2,
Judge Engelmayer held his
initial pre-trial conference
and ruled, "All parties do not
consent to conducting all
further proceedings before a
Magistrate Judge, including
motions and trial. 28 U.S.C. §
636(c). This case is to be
tried to a jury. Any motion to
amend or to join additional
parties shall be filed within
30 days from the date of this
Order. The Final Pretrial
Order date is thirty (30) days
following the close of fact
and expert discovery
(whichever is later), unless a
dispositive motion is
requested. Counsel for the
parties have conferred and
their present best estimate of
the length of trial is 4 days.
Deposition due by 3/23/2023.
Fact Discovery due by
3/23/2023. Expert Discovery
due by 5/9/2023. Case
Management Conference set for
4/26/2023 at 10:00 AM before
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer.
(Signed by Judge Paul A.
Engelmayer on 11/2/2022)"
