Bank of New York Mellon Corp. was sued by a former executive who says the company fired him after more than three decades because of his age and gender and for helping a male colleague file a sexual harassment complaint against a female coworker.
Jonathan Spirgel, BNY Mellon’s former global head of liquidity and segregation services, said in a complaint Friday in federal court in Manhattan that the bank terminated him along with a male colleague in June 2020, but took no action against the female salesperson who was the subject of the complaint after a “sham investigation.”
