Issue: Defense of Gender Discrimination Claim

Stokes v. Long Bay Management Co., Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination Docket No. BEM-01131298, Boston, Massachusetts

Counsel: Denzil D. McKenzie, Martha M. Wishart

We defended this employer against the employee’s charge that she was being discriminated against based on her gender, by being asked to do errands for her supervisor. The employer successfully argued that others in her position, including males had been asked to do the same tasks, leading to a dismissal of the claim.
