Lysander, N.Y. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing a distribution company outside Baldwinsville, alleging it refused to interview a qualified job applicant because she was deaf.
In a lawsuit filed on Dec. 30 in the Northern District of New York, the EEOC said a deaf woman, identified in the lawsuit as Shelley Valentino, applied on March 12, 2018, for two positions for which she was qualified at McLane Northeast’s warehouse in Lysander.
One of the jobs involved selecting designated open-case product and placing it in a tote or box to fulfill customer orders. The other involved selecting designated product, loading it into a cart or onto a pallet, and using power equipment to transport it to the designated dock area to fulfill customer orders.
Retirement Community Refused to Hire Pregnant Woman, Federal Agency Charges
TAMPA – Excel Hospitality Group LLC, doing business as Regency Park Assisted Living & Memorial Care, an assisted living facility in Eustis, Fla., will pay $39,000 and furnish other relief to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency announced today.
According to EEOC’s suit, Regency Park offered a woman a position as a caregiver. While she was in the process of filling out paperwork, the woman mentioned that she was pregnant. Shortly after, Regency Park rescinded the offer and informed her that it decided to go with someone else for the caregiver position.

There are lots of good reasons why business owners would want to know how, when, and if employees are getting the Covid-19 vaccine. From a safety and health standpoint, vaccine information could help business owners make key decisions. The knowledge could affect hourly schedules, location, and whether people can work from home as a reasonable accommodation for not getting a jab. For businesses now temporarily closed, it could support the decision to open shop.
Generally, yes: You can ask employees if they ve received a vaccine. Though if you do request information, tread lightly and make sure there s a legitimate business reason for doing so such as resigning a lease or hiring more people. Asking for additional information could get you in more trouble than it s worth, says David Barron, a Houston-based labor and employment attorney for Cozen O Connor.
https://www.afinalwarning.com/490898.html (Natural News) The rollout of “Operation Warp Speed” Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines is now in full swing, and it appears as though getting jabbed will eventually become a requirement in order to travel, keep a job, buy food, and conduct business. There is still time to prevent this nightmarish dystopia from happening, though.
America’s Frontline Doctors, which brought us all the “White Coat Summit” back in the summer, has launched a new action item that aims to get vaccine “bill of rights” legislation passed in all 50 states.
The health freedom group has put together a legislative framework document that can be easily applied to every state with the simple switch of name. The “memorializing resolution” is simple: Citizens are not to be forced or coerced into getting injected with “unconstitutional and medically irresponsible COVID-19 vaccine mandates.”

Gripped by scandal in the summer of 2018, CBS came up with a way to contain the crisis.
The television giant’s board hired two outside law firms to investigate sexual misconduct claims against its longtime leader, Leslie Moonves, and to scour the company for traces of a toxic atmosphere.
Lawyers with those high-caliber firms promised “a thorough and independent inquiry.” They invited CBS employees to report “sexual harassment, retaliation or the unfair treatment of women,” according to their Aug. 15, 2018, email.
Margaret Cronan said the message filled her with “tremendous relief.” A year earlier, she had walked away from a prestigious, high-paying position running the newsroom at CBS’ Philadelphia TV station a job she loved but could no longer stomach.
