Hearing set on motions to dismiss discrimination suit against MESD

Coleman Madison County Circuit Judge Sarah Smith scheduled a hearing on motions to dismiss a former Metro East Sanitary District employee’s lawsuit alleging he was terminated due to political affiliation and then denied rehire due to his age.  The hearing had previously been set for March 4 but was continued to April 1 after the parties agreed.  Defendants Kurt Prenzler, Steve Adler, Scott Oney, Rick Fancher, and Metro East Sanitary District filed the motion to dismiss on Jan. 19 through attorney Gregg Kinney of HeplerBroom. Kinney later moved to withdraw as attorney for Madison County Chairman Prenzler. John Gilbert of Sandberg Phoenix entered his appearance on behalf of Prenzler on Feb. 12.

Some of the broadest protections for whistleblowers in the country became effective March 23. Restrictions on Employer’s Use of Criminal Convictions The Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA) was amended, effective immediately, to bolster prior “Ban the Box” laws by prohibiting the use of criminal convictions by Illinois employers except in special circumstances and only if special notices (similar to those required by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act) are provided to applicants and employees.
