![]() ![]() Concepcion was told by her superiors that it was over budgeting issues, the suit says. ![]() One employee, Rosa Lieberberg, was 12 weeks pregnant when she was fired, not for restructuring, but because she was accused of being in a "mean girls club," the suit says.Ĭoncepcion, who left her buyer position at Urban Outfitters in Philadelphia to move to Los Angeles for Nasty Gal, says that even though her supervisor Camilla Whitman gave her "stellar reviews," she was still given the axe in August 2014, just a few months after she told Whitman that she was pregnant. Concepcion says that Nasty Gal disguised the firings as layoffs, telling the employees that they were restructuring. This includes Concepcion, three female employees and a male worker. Jezebel reports that the suit, which was filed by former employee Aimee Concepcion on March 10, says that Los Angeles-based Nasty Gal fired workers who got pregnant, were about to go on maternity or paternity leave, or were on maternity leave. Even though Nasty Gal is famously known for being founded by a female boss who wrote a book championing for workplace equality, a new lawsuit claims that the chic fashion retailer has been firing women who get pregnant. ![]()
