The Associated Press is reporting that New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg has been questioned a second time about sexual discrimination allegations at his data and news company, Bloomberg LP.
An AP story states, “The plaintiffs’ lawyers deposed Bloomberg Monday behind closed doors. City Hall didn’t comment afterward.
“Plaintiffs’ lawyer Richard Roth said Bloomberg was questioned about his relationship with the company in recent years. Roth said the mayor sometimes seemed dismissive toward some questions.
“The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission suit filed in 2007 claims dozens of women who took maternity leave from Bloomberg LP were discriminated against.
“Bloomberg is not a defendant. He resigned as chief executive officer to run for mayor in 2001, but maintains a 85 percent stake in the company.”
