A public library employee in New Jersey, Jeffrey Machno, has filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging that he was subjected to a hostile work environment that resulted in his unfair firing for “his gay lifestyle.”
He claims harassment, discrimination, and retaliation based on sexual orientation.
Jeffrey Machno was hired as a part-time library assistant for Secaucus Public Library and Business Resource Center in 2020. As recently as October, Machno was featured on New York City-area television because he was so famous for being a welcoming and inspiring librarian in his Seacaus community. Even the town’s mayor appeared in the report singing Machno’s praises.
But in December, Machno filed his complaint with the EEOC. He says, his supervisor told him that his “gay lifestyle” was unacceptable to her.
Machno was excluded from work events after complaining to his supervisor.
