A company that manages a Bentonville McDonald’s responded on Wednesday to accusations it fired an employee for being HIV positive.
According to a lawsuit filled by the U.S. Equal Employement Opportunity Commision, the restaurant violated federal law by firing the employee for having HIV, and it also violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by maintaining a policy of requiring all employees to report the use of prescription medication.
Mathews Management issued the following statement regarding the lawsuit:
“It is our policy to provide equal employment to all persons regardless of physical or mental disability, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law. We deny that Plantiff’s separation was based on his medical status. These allegations are without merit and we will vigorously defend this baseless claim.”
