Santander to pay $900,000 to settle pregnancy discrimination lawsuit
Santander will pay $900,000 to a former vice-president who alleged the bank cut her bonuses, removed her client accounts and terminated her employment because she was pregnant.
Erin McKenna, who was fired in November 2020, sued the bank in early 2021, claiming that she had been the victim of discrimination.
According to her complaint, McKenna, who worked in fixed income and emerging market sales, had two high-risk pregnancies between 2019 and 2020 and wanted to work from home.
