The women filed a motion in U.S. District Court in Manhattan this morning to add to the lawsuit filed last week by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against the worldwide financial news information firm.
The women — Jill Patricot, Tanys Lancaster, and Janet Loures — are seeking nearly $482 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
"This systemic, top-down discrimination against female employees is fostered, condoned and perpetuated by the highest levels of management within Bloomberg and by the ownership of Bloomberg," the motion says.
