Summary: Antoinette Barrett claims that her former employers, the global technology company iQor, Inc. and the debt collection agency Allied Interstate, discriminated against her because of her severe peanut allergy and her race. She is now suing. At the time of her hire, and on several occasions afterward, Barrett allegedly told her employer and supervisor that any exposure to peanuts may lead to hospitalization, and even death. A couple of weeks later, co-workers allegedly ate peanuts near Barrett's desk, causing her face to swell up and throat to close. She couldn't breathe, claims the complaint, and she again went to urgent care. When Barrett returned to the office, she gave Doherty a note from her doctor saying that she was on modified work duty. Her supervisor allegedly replied that "it was all in her head." Barrett claims she called 911 on her cell phone, and threw up before the ambulance arrived. She was hospitalized, and told by doctors to remain at home until it was safe for her to return to work. She was under doctor's care for the next six weeks, Kirtley claims, and in constant contact with her employer. But on Dec. 3 she received an email saying she was terminated. The reason listed was "resignation."
The exception that applies here is discrimination of disability. Outcome/Predicted Outcome - I think she would have won the case because they didn't have "just cause" for letting her go.

Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., a Christian-owned crafts supply chain, and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp., owned by Mennonite Christians, are challenging the provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires for-profit companies to include all Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptives in their health insurance plans.Hobby Lobby's attorneys argue that the law violates the company's constitutional right to religious freedom by forcing it to cover all forms of birth control or pay steep fines. The contraception mandate does include exceptions for churches and a special accommodation for religiously affiliated nonprofits, such as schools and hospitals. But for-profit corporations are required to cover the full range of women's preventative care, including birth control, intrauterine devices and emergency contraception, at no cost to their female employees.

Link: http://jobs.aol.com/articles/2011/10/26/employee-discriminated-against-because-of-peanut-allergy-claims/
DeleteSummary:
Antoinette Barrett claims that her former employers, the global technology company iQor, Inc. and the debt collection agency Allied Interstate, discriminated against her because of her severe peanut allergy and her race. She is now suing. At the time of her hire, and on several occasions afterward, Barrett allegedly told her employer and supervisor that any exposure to peanuts may lead to hospitalization, and even death. A couple of weeks later, co-workers allegedly ate peanuts near Barrett's desk, causing her face to swell up and throat to close. She couldn't breathe, claims the complaint, and she again went to urgent care. When Barrett returned to the office, she gave Doherty a note from her doctor saying that she was on modified work duty. Her supervisor allegedly replied that "it was all in her head." Barrett claims she called 911 on her cell phone, and threw up before the ambulance arrived. She was hospitalized, and told by doctors to remain at home until it was safe for her to return to work. She was under doctor's care for the next six weeks, Kirtley claims, and in constant contact with her employer. But on Dec. 3 she received an email saying she was terminated. The reason listed was "resignation."
The exception that applies here is discrimination of disability.
Outcome/Predicted Outcome - I think she would have won the case because they didn't have "just cause" for letting her go.

The contraception mandate does include exceptions for churches and a special accommodation for religiously affiliated nonprofits, such as schools and hospitals. But for-profit corporations are required to cover the full range of women's preventative care, including birth control, intrauterine devices and emergency contraception, at no cost to their female employees.

In 2002, SOX provided an additional layer of protection to employees who claimed they were retaliated against for raising concerns about certain fraudulent activity by public companies. SOX gave employees the opportunity to file a retaliation complaint with the Secretary of Labor within 90 days of the alleged retaliation (the Dodd-Frank Act has since extended the deadline to file to 180 days).
