NEW YORK -- A New York woman claims she faced a chilling choice between her unborn baby and her job when her boss discovered that she was pregnant with her third child, according to a federal lawsuit.
Catherine Rizzo, 25, claims there was no way to misinterpret her supervisor's ultimatum at Cooky's Deli in Bohemia, N.Y., in May.
"The owner's daughter pulled me in the office and basically told me if I didn't have an abortion, I wasn't going to have a job," Rizzo told the New York Post. "It was very, very clear."
She added, "I have two other kids I have to take care of, and I needed my job."
Cooky's Deli owner Martin Marsilio, 69, vehemently denied the allegation, calling it "a total lie."
The struggling single mom said she was barely getting by on the $400 to $500 a week she earned at the deli counter -- and knew she could not afford to lose her job.
