Market Chatter: U.S. court tosses hostile workplace, pay discrimination claims against BlackBerry

Nov 25, 2024 6:13 AM

08:53 AM EST, 11/25/2024 (MT Newswires) -- A U.S. court has closed the door on "hostile work environment" and wage discrimination claims made by a former BlackBerry Ltd. executive who accused the company's CEO of sexually harassing her and then retaliating against her when she reported the behaviour, The Canadian Press reports Monday.

It noted U.S. magistrate judge Sallie Kim granted BlackBerry and John Giamatteo's request in July to turf some claims made by former chief marketing officer Neelam Sandhu but offered her a chance to amend her complaint to provide additional details supporting her allegations.

Court records show Kim officially dismissed the hostile work environment and wage discrimination claims late Thursday after being unmoved by additional filings made by Sandhu's lawyers.
