Myriam Ayala, a reporter with WNJU-41, the Univision station in NYC, is suing the company for age and racial discrimination.
Myriam, who has been at the station 25 years, claims that despite her years on the job and previous rave reviews on her performance, she has been moved aside for younger and “lighter” complexioned reporters.
In a federal lawsuit, which was initially picked up and reported by TMZ, she alleges that management changed her more than 20-year day schedule to the overnight shift (3 am to 12 pm), has been given a poor performance review by the current news director, her previously plum assignments are given to younger reporters and she has been subjected to other retaliatory measures after she complained of age and race discrimination.
