The daughter of a 44-year-old construction-safety inspector who was killed in a suspicious Flushing apartment fire earlier this week is vowing to continue her mother’s fight in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed months before her death.
"She was a strong woman," Nicole Kuros, 18, told the Daily News of her mother, Bianca Wisniewski, who filed a $20 million lawsuit in July charging she was sexually harassed at a JPMorgan Chase construction site on Park Ave. Kuros, speaking from the La Fe Funeral Home in Brooklyn, added, "She taught me how to be strong, and now I will be strong for her. We have to keep fighting."
Wisniewski, 44, died Sunday, a day before she was to testify against here former employer Total Safety Consulting and JPMorgan Chase. The suit alleges that an elevator operator, Steve Greco, propositioned and groped her at the bank construction site on Park Avenue, asking her to dinner and for a kiss and reminding her that construction is “a man's world, not a place for women to work.” Wisniewski's husband told the Daily News, "She was doing this not just to fight for what's right, but also to help other women out there."
