Michelle Fisher, a Black nurse practitioner, remembers her white manager at Planned Parenthood’s Bellmawr clinic often berating her.
Once, Fisher says, the manager thrust urine samples on her desk with such force that it splashed on her. After she was laid off in spring 2021 in what she believes was retaliation for filing multiple discrimination complaints to human resources, Fisher sued the Planned Parenthood of Northern, Central and Southern New Jersey in May 2022. The case is ongoing.Fisher said she was harassed and intimidated for asking questions about medical protocol and patient cases, while her own medical expertise was discounted.
She also said was routinely assigned to clinics farther from her home and required to work more hours compared to white nurses with less experience.
In court records and interviews with The Inquirer, employees said they faced racist comments from coworkers and were held to a different standard than white colleagues. Many said supervisors were more critical of their work, while valuing their contributions less, compared to white coworkers.
