Kmart Sued for Disability Discrimination
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit against Kmart alleging employment discrimination. The Commission claims that Kmart violated the American’s with Disabilities Act when they fired a disabled greeter at one of their stores in Norfolk, Virginia.
The lawsuit was filed after the Commission was unable to reach a voluntary settlement with Kmart. The discrimination suit is seeking reinstatement of the employee, monetary damages, and an order from the Court that Kmart follow policies to ensure people with disabilities are offered equal employment opportunities at their stores.
