Pharmacists file age discrimination suit against Mercy Medical
From the article:
Nine pharmacists are suing Mercy Medical Group, alleging they were fired because of their age, according to a report in the St. Louis Business Journal.
The lawsuit alleges that between January 2012 and March 2013 Mercy manager Steve Frigo fired the pharmacists and replaced them with younger employees.
Attorney’s for Mercy, the sixth-largest Catholic healthcare system in the nation, filed a motion to have the cases heard separately. The case is being heard in St. Louis County Circuit Court.
Pharmacists Robert Overmann, Susan Gallagher, Susan Holly Baker, Ronald Johnson, Judy Lagemann, William Macke, John Mullins, Sandra Ahearn, and Richard Myers are each seeking more than $50,000 in punitive damages.
The pharmacists claim that a disproportionate amount of the pharmacists Frigo fired were over the age of 40. Mercy has not commented on the lawsuit.
Just remember, your alma mater needs your on going donations to keep the flow of new RPh’s coming into the market.
