COURTHOUSE,
Dec 16 – The Bank of New York
Mellon has been sued a former
staffer who was fired, he
said, for disabilities
incurred from a 9/11 related
cancer.
Seiran Salimov filed suit in
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on December 16; Inner
City Press which closely
covers the SDNY found it in
the docket.
Salimov complaint recounts
how, while he was a BNY senior
programmer analyst, he was
diagnosed with 9/11 related
cancer.
He asked
for an accommodation but BNY
questioned it, finally firing
him on June 26, 2023. He got
an EEOC Notice of Right to Sue
and filed the suit.
The case is
Salimov v. Bank of New York
Mellon Corporation,
1:24-cv-9596
(Unassigned)
