Woman Gets $35,00 In Americans With Disabilities Act Lawsuit
A woman who alleged she was subjected to discrimination because she has multiple sclerosis settled her lawsuit for $35,000. Jill Roberts complained to the company, Mannatech about her problem and nothing was done to correct it so she filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC").
The EEOC filed a lawsuit against Mannatech Inc, claiming the company had turned her down for a job assignment because of her disability. Roberts alleged she was also denied the reasonable accommodation of as-needed restroom breaks, and as a result was denied the assignment at the company's call center in Copell. The lawsuit claimed violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA").
