Three nurses seek punitive damages from the Medical Center at Princeton, claiming they were subjected to "a willful and malicious anti-Semitic purge" against what their boss called "the Jew crew," in Burlington County Court, N.J.
The women say co-defendant Sheri Glanding, a nurse manager, "systematically targeted the Jewish nurses with false and pretextual disciplines, suspensions, and terminations." Glanding allegedly refers to Jewish nurses as the "Jew crew."
