The Financial Post reports in its Tuesday edition that a judge in California has thrown out parts of a lawsuit that accuses BlackBerry and chief executive officer John Giamatteo of wage discrimination based on gender and creating a hostile work environment, although most of the claims still stand. The Post's Gabriel Friedman writes that the lawsuit was filed in April by a woman under the pseudonym Jane Doe just months after Mr. Giamatteo took over as CEO, and it alleges that he sexually harassed her and that she was wrongly terminated. In an 18-page ruling, Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim dismissed one of the plaintiff's claims of a hostile work environment, saying that she failed to allege "pervasive" or "severe" harassment as required under the statute cited. Judge Kim also dismissed one of the plaintiff's claims for failing to promptly pay wages, saying there were not enough details in her complaint. Both claims were dismissed with prejudice, meaning they cannot be restated in an amended complaint. Remaining are eight claims, including separate claims under different statutes for a hostile work environment and discrimination in the payment of wages based on sex. Two other claims can be amended and refiled.
