Cancer Patient Fired, Co. Must Pay $846k - Civil Rights - Law and Daily Life:"By Cynthia Hsu on September 15, 2011 12:01 PM | No TrackBacks
A California cancer patient was fired after limiting his travel during his ongoing treatment. Charles Wideman was 59 when he was discharged. He had planned on working for his employer, Acme Electric, until age 67.
Acme Electric, a Wisconsin-based company, said that they fired Wideman because he was not living up to his job duties - which included traveling to meet with customers, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
California's Fair Employment and Housing Commission disagreed, saying that the company's conduct was discriminatory. Wideman was awarded $846,000, the agency's largest award in a discrimination case, according to the Chronicle."
