In the Matter of DENNIS M. SILVERMAN, as President of Local 810, International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffers, Warehousemen and Helpers of America, et al., Appellants, v. CITY OF NEW YORK COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS et al., Respondents.

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Tyler, J.), entered March 18, 1981, which enforced in part and modified in part a determination of the New York City Commission on Human Rights, unanimously modified, on the law and the facts, to the extent of reducing the amount of severance pay due respondent Sophie Oschak to $20,604, and, as so modified, affirmed, without costs and without disbursements. There is substantial evidence in the record supporting the determination of the New York City Commission on Human Rights that the petitioner union discriminated against respondent Sophie Oschak on the basis of her sex in denying her severance pay. The amount of such severence pay was incorrectly computed by Special Term to be $23,020 and by the commission to be $25,040. We have determined that the correct amount is $20,604 considering that Ms. Oschak was not a union official during her 31 years of employment with the union, for the years 1970 to 1974 and 1943 to 1948. Special Term was correct in finding that there is no basis for an award of compensatory damages for mental anguish.
