Wal-Mart pays $250,000 to fired worker with disabilities
June 10th, 2008From the Wall Street Journal and the Baltimore Sun:
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. will pay $250,000 and make policy changes to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The agency accused Wal-Mart of failing to accommodate, then firing, a long-time pharmacy technician disabled by a gunshot wound.
…This is the EEOC’s second settlement this year with Wal-Mart about the ADA. In April, it settled a lawsuit about the company’s failure to hire a person with cerebral palsy for $300,000 and agreed to make policy changes.
