COURTHOUSE,
July 5 – A Flagstar Bank
employee who says her
supervisor spouted homophobic
remarks in Flagstar's office
has sued the bank. She says
that 25 days after she
complained to Flagstar's human
resources director, she was
terminated in retaliation.
She received a
right to sue letter from the
EEOC and filed suit in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York,
which Inner City Press covers
closely. It has been assigned
to Judge Lewis J. Liman.
While
Flagstar's data filed and made
public under the Home Mortgage
Disclosure Act indicates
disparities for some protected
classes, the data set does not
(yet?) contain this one.
The case is
Chavez-Mendoza v. Flagstar
Bank, 24-cv-5057 (Liman)
