A Bronx woman has filed a lawsuit against Costco, claiming she was terminated from her job at the East Harlem store after reporting alleged sexual harassment by her female supervisor, Andrea Mills. The complaint alleges that Mills created a hostile work environment through inappropriate comments and behavior starting in October 2024. Despite making multiple reports to other supervisors and taking time off due to discomfort, the woman says she was fired in January 2025 as retaliation for speaking out. Neither Mills nor Costco responded to requests for comment on these allegations.

Story summary
A Bronx woman has filed a lawsuit against Costco, alleging that she was fired from her East Harlem location in January 2025 after reporting sexual harassment by her female boss, Andrea Mills. According to the complaint filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on October 1, 2024, the alleged harassment began when Mills complained about the accuser’s uniform shirt during a meeting and shouted that she was "a very busty woman." The complaint further alleges that Mills invaded her personal space at work and sang to her that she was “the most beautiful girl in the room.” The lawsuit claims that Mills continued this behavior to force the employee to quit, though it's unclear why Mills would want her to do so.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
