"This particular case goes way beyond the norm," said plaintiffs' lawyer Maimon Kirschenbaum, indicating the seriousness of the lawsuits against Patsy's Italian Restaurant.
The lawsuit highlights a disturbing claim that co-owner Sal Scognamillo possesses a 'deep-seated hatred' of Albanians, creating a hostile work environment for the affected staff.
The filings detail ongoing discriminatory behavior towards plaintiffs Kreshnik Hoti and Desiart Ymeraga, alleging mistreatment from Scognamillo and his family members, further complicating the restaurant's claim to its brand.
The tension with the other Patsy's, owned by Albanian Frank Brija, stems from past trademark disputes, suggesting that personal animosity may have impacted workplace dynamics.
