ZEELAND A former employee has filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against Gentex Corp. of Zeeland.
The lawsuit was filed by Elizabeth Helminski of Grand Rapids in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan on Thursday, April 22. We cannot comment on a pending lawsuit, said Gentex Director of Marketing and Corporate Communications Craig Piersma. He added the company cannot comment on current or past employees, per policy.
According to court documents filed by Helminski, she was fired shortly after raising concerns about bro culture at Gentex to her supervisor, Brian Brackenbury who is also listed as a defendant in the case.
