The New York Times its chief executive and chief revenue officer are facing a federal discrimination lawsuit from two women working in the advertising department.
Account managers Ernestine Grant and Marjorie Walker claim the workplace is “rife with discrimination based on age, race and gender.”
Both women are black and in their 60s.
Grant has been with the paper for 16 years and Walker for eight years, the Times said.
The lawsuit explains that when Meredith Levien, now the company’s executive vice president and chief revenue officer, joined the Times in 2013, she “made it very clear that she was looking for a very particular work force without families, and who were white.”
