(New York City) In separate lawsuits, the NYC Department of Environmental Protection and a prestigious global branding company are being sued for alleged discrimination of gay workers.

Both women are Latina and lesbians.

In a complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the women said they were routinely called “dykes” and “bitches.” In addition, pornography was regularly stuck to their trucks, the complaint said.

Padilla and Rodriguez said the department had 10 to 15 women working as laborers when they started, but most have been driven out by similar harassment.

“It’s like an old boys’ network that hasn’t been dismantled,” their lawyer, Kenneth Thompson told The New York Daily News.

Filing the complaint with the commission is the first step toward filing a discrimination lawsuit in federal court.

“I once had a supervisor telling me that he would never have a woman telling a man what to do,” Padilla, 56, told The Daily News.

The DEP has just five women out of 426 laborers on its staff.

A DEP spokesperson said that the women’s complaints ” will be thoroughly investigated.”

Meanwhile, a gay man who said he was fired by the global branding firm Wolff Olins has filed suit against the company in Manhattan Supreme Court.

The court filing alleges that Christopher Perez was fired as a marketing manager last August after complaining about anti-gay taunts from his supervisor.

Perez was hired for the firm in 2007 by Amy Weiner Recruiting, where supervisor Dean Crutchfield’s wife worked.

The suit says that Perez succeeded another gay man who also had been hired by Weiner.

According to court papers, Crutchfield complained to his wife about hiring gays. The suit also claims that when Perez applied for vacation time, his boss asked if he were “going away with your team for a scandalous holiday.”

Wolff Olins has not replied to the suit.
