Court Finds Possible Inference of Discrimination Using Company Statistsics

Posted by:

Singh v. Bay Crane Services (E.D.N.Y. 2013): The Court denied Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. In reaching its conclusion that one could find an inference of discrimination, the Court took note of the race composition of the operators at Defendant company.  Specifically, the Court took note that 43 out of the 49 Bay Crane Operators on the Transit Authority contact were white.  While the Court decided that there were sufficient facts asserted to deny Defendants’ motion on both the federal and city claims, the Court noted that the  New York City Human Rights Law was much more liberal and did not require the shame showing as for the federal claims.
