Country Club Denies Discrimination in Firing of Longtime Server
|
The Country Club of New Canaan last week denied claims that it had discriminated against a server who’d worked there for 30-plus years when it fired him last April.
According to a lawsuit filed Feb. 28 in state Superior Court, the Country Club “discriminated against” Gerardo Ortiz “on account of his age,” subjecting him to “a pervasive and continuing course of discriminatory comments and conduct which had the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with Plaintiff’s work performance and/or the creation of an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.”
