Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C., is pleased to announce that it is has joined with The Workplace Project to stamp out work place discrimination in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Nassau and Suffolk Counties.  As reported by News 12, Newsday, and 1010 Wins, Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. is representing six women who were the victims of vile and degrading sexual harassment while working as package inspectors at Alan Ritchey, a shipping contractor.  Since 2003, these women have been subjected to a pervasive pattern of harassment and threats at the hands of their managers and co-workers.  When they complained, rather than acting to remedy the situation, the company terminated them.

Founded in 1992, The Workplace Project exists “To end the exploitation of Latino immigrant workers on Long Island and to achieve socioeconomic justice by promoting the full political, economic and cultural participation of these workers in the communities in which they live.”  One of The Workplace Project’s primary goals is to end the exploitation of workers on Long Island.  They approach this important task by providing workers with support, education and working to ensure that New York State enacts and enforces laws to protect them.

As one of the preeminent labor and employment law firms in New York, Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. shares these goals with The Workplace Project and has spent years fighting for the rights of its clients.  The firm is experienced with all manner of labor and employment issues ranging from discrimination to non-compete agreements and employment contracts.
