ALBANY, N.Y. -- Michael Cunningham has filed a $1 million one lawsuit against his employers at the New York Department of Labor, alleging a lack of promotion opportunities for men.

Cunningham is the department's director of training. His suit names the Labor Department's top three officials as defendants.

In the suit, Cunningham said he complained to his immediate supervisor -- a woman -- about a lack of minority hiring and promotions. He also told her that all of the workers appointed to management positions were women.

Cunningham alleges that after he complained, he was verbally abused and suffered a hostile work environment.

A Labor Department spokesman said no comment would be made on pending litigation. However, he noted that the department's second highest-ranking official is a man.
