Fired Novo Nordisk rep claims retaliation in miscarriage discrimination suit


PLAINSBORO - A former sales rep for Novo Nordisk claims in a whistleblower suit that the Danish pharmaceutical giant discriminated against her for getting pregnant, then callously fired her after she had a miscarriage. Alicia Clark-Unusan's lawsuit against the company with U.S. headquarters in Plainsboro portrays a highly competitive and cutthroat company culture, with claims that in her case, it was more dedicated to its sales numbers than its employees' well being - or to the state's laws against discrimination and retaliation.
