Tracey McCain, a former employee of North Jersey Media Group, has filed a lawsuit against the newspaper publishing company.
Chairman Malcolm A. Borg is named as one of the defendants.
McCain, a woman, joined NJMG in September 1999 as information-technology logistics manager, but is no longer with the company.
NJMG publishes The Record and Herald News, both of Woodland Park.
Englewood ties
McCain is a 1983 graduate of Dwight Morrow High School in Englewood, where she now lives. Borg also lives in Englewood, in a mansion on the East Hill.
Eye on The Record received five anonymous messages concerning the suit, including one citing a sexual-harassment allegation, but I have not seen the legal papers.
I published two of the messages at the end of the post Stupid cops get a pass.
Conte and Borg
The suit, filed Dec. 7, 2009, in the Bergen County Courthouse in Hackensack, has been assigned to Superior Court Judge Joseph S. Conte, the same judge who presided at the trial of my age-discrimination suit this year.
The elder Borg appeared in the courtroom on the last day of the trial, and during a break, Conte greeted him warmly. They reminisced about a courthouse ceremony some years before at which Borg spoke.
It's not known whether like me, McCain was fired after she filed her complaint.
Conte also has been assigned lawsuits filed by department members against suspended Hackensack Police Chief Ken Zisa.

I wrote this before I saw the lawsuit.
ReplyDeleteTracey McCain was fired in April 2009, and filed suit in December of that year.
Also, she joined NJMG in 2000, according to her suit, not 1999.
