EEOC sues Arlington pharmacy for pregnancy discrimination after two women were fired in March 2013
From the article:
For the second time in the span of just a few weeks, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is accusing a local business of pregnancy discrimination.
In Dallas federal court Monday, the EEOC sued Arlington-based Tomeldon Company, Inc. for terminating two pregnant workers in March 2013. The company is better known as Pharmacy Solutions, where Arian Lemon worked as a pharmacist at Pharmacy Solutions and Emilee Stephens was employed as a pharmacy technician until they were given their pink slips, according to the feds. The lawsuit accuses Pharmacy Solutions of “unlawful employment practices … done with malice or with reckless indifference to the federally protected rights of Arian Lemon and Emilee Stephens.”
The feds say this is the 45th pregnancy discrimination suit filed in the last three years, and that it was brought only after “first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process.” The feds want Pharmacy Solutions to pay the woman lost wages and other punitive damages.
