The city’s Department of Probation is a largely female, non-white workforce — but the white men in the department make on average over $14,000 more than them, a new lawsuit against the department and the city alleges.
The current makeup of DOP is about 80 percent female, and more than 90 percent non-white, according to the pay discrimination lawsuit filed Monday by five Black and Latina officers and the United Probation Officers Association in District Court for the Southern District of New York.
