A Bronx woman says there's something fishy about her being canned by the Fulton Market.
Cynthia Gomez, 38, claims her bosses at the fish market, now doing business in the Hunts Point section of The Bronx, let her go because she couldn't put up with all the catcalls on the market floor.
After being hired last month as a bill collector for Universal Seafood, her supervisor warned her that "men get crazy when a woman walks through" the market, she claims in a lawsuit filed in Bronx Supreme Court.
And when she did go there, Gomez was sexually harassed "with nonstop whistling and screaming," she says in papers filed yesterday. Several workers blew kisses at her. One asked her co-worker, "Are you hitting that?" the papers claim.
After her complaints got her nowhere, ultimately, she said, she was told it was best she be fired because "she could not handle it." Another market employer, Cross and Guard, told her it could do nothing about the firing, she said.
Lawyers for Gomez, Universal, and Cross and Guard didn't return calls yesterday.
