Epilepsy Discrimination Case
By Cletus Ernster
In a press release at http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/newsroom/rlease/3-18-10b.cfm , the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that a federal district judge in Madison, Wisconsin entered a consent decree resolving an employment discrimination lawsuit against an egg processing company charged with unlawfully firing a production employee because of her epilepsy despite her ability to perform the essential functions of her job. According to the March 18, 2010 press release, the company will pay $50,000 and provide other remedial relief. EEOC trial lawyers charged in the lawsuit that the company violated the American’s With Disabilities Act (ADA) when it fired the employee because of epilepsy.
