Seven employees of the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene have filed a federal lawsuit accusing the city and a department official of discrimination against Jewish workers, alleging they faced a hostile work environment because of their Jewish identity and support for Israel. The complaint, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, names the city, the Health Department and Sye-Eun Ahn as defendants. The plaintiffs allege that Jewish employees were treated differently because of their religion, ethnicity, ancestry and national origin, as well as their connection to Israel and the Jewish people.
