Davos Organizer Sued for Race, Pregnancy Discrimination

The World Economic Forum and its founder Klaus Schwab were sued for racial and pregnancy discrimination by a Black employee based in New York.

The Forum, best known for its annual Davos gathering of political and business leaders, told policy expert Topaz Smith her job was being eliminated immediately when she returned from maternity leave. It replaced her with a non-pregnant White woman earlier this year, according to the lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Manhattan.
