(908)402-4770Attorneys Robert B. Woodruff and Kieran M. Dowling settled an employment matter on behalf of a white Italian American and retired veteran who worked as a foreman for the Elizabeth Board of Education (the “EBOE”). The plaintiff foreman alleged the EBOE removed him from his position as its eighteen-year electrical foreman because of his ethnicity and replaced him with Hispanic employees who possessed far less electrical experience but received significantly higher salaries. The actions of the EBOE violated the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (“NJ LAD”).
The parties settled the matter at a mediation for $290,000.00.
