Description

A full-time hourly manufacturing worker at a multi-location industrial company was terminated in May 2026 after approximately two and a half years of employment, allegedly for improper work performance, despite having no prior formal disciplinary action. The former employee, who held a specialized inspection certification position and was represented by a union, alleges the termination was based on gender discrimination and disability-based discrimination, citing disparate treatment compared to male coworkers, gender-based workplace comments, and suspicious timing coinciding with approval of medical leave for mental health conditions.
