Getting fired for being pregnant.

The National League New York Mets are in hot water for
allegedly firing a sales executive because she was pregnant
and unmarried.

In the lawsuit it is alleged COO Jeff Wilpon, son of owner
Fred Wilpon, took exception to Castergine's 'condition'.

"He frequently humiliated Castergine in front of others by, among other things, pretending to see if she had an engagement ring on her finger and openly stating in a meeting of the Team's all-male senior executives that he is ‘morally opposed' to Castergine ‘having this baby without being married."

According to the lawsuit, she was terminated shortly after complaining about Jeff Wilpon's behavior to the club's human resources department.

:iconfetusplz:  Since when do women require a wedding band or
engagement ring to get pregnant?

:iconfetusplz: Isn't that awesome she gets fired after contacting HR?

:iconfetusplz: How stupid is this guy to say he's 'morally' opposed
to a woman having a child without being married?

:iconfetusplz:  The Mets have enough problems getting people to
buy tickets to their games, I'm not sure alienating the women
in the fanbase is a good marketing strategy.

Asshole millionaires should keep their big stupid mouths shut
and leave their woman hating bullshit at home.

It's not illegal to fire someone who is pregnant, but it is illegal to fire someone because they are pregnant. What in that asshole's mind lead him to believe he wouldn't get dragged to court in behind this?  She needs to slap the bastard with harassment as well.

I hope that's shopped, because it's gross. I'd fire her too, coming into my business looking like that.

Is New York a right to work state?

If the answer is yes... there's your answer. :/ If you're in a Right to Work state, you can be fired for literally anything

NY is a union State
HerbalDrink's avatar
So what, does a Union state mean that employers have to pretend that they listen to unions before ultimately ignoring them? 
EbolaSparkleBear's avatar
No, the State isn't anti-Union like "Right" to work States

well sports teams are just about the sexist places in america and what very sad men use as balls in their pants so this comes as no surprise.  Also good they should be because that shit's illegal. -Sadly this is not at all an uncommon case in sports or jobs in general and then I get to hear about guys sticking behind "women in America should check their privilege" and "sexism is not a problem" and "the feminist movement is just for man hating" - it's like no douchebags it's because of bullshit like this and sadly still this guy will probably get away with it at the very worst paying a small fine, she's not going to get her job back and neither would she really want to because why would you when an employer treats you like that? When anyone else would get sued up the ass or worse possible termination.
