An Anheuser-Busch worker was too late when she lodged a retaliation claim against the brewery and her union alleging she was adversely treated after filing for workers' compensation, an Ohio federal judge ruled Wednesday, dismissing the claim in its entirety.
An Anheuser-Busch employee who claims she was stripped of her union steward responsibilities after reporting discrimination and receiving workers' compensation benefits is fighting the company's claim that she sued too late, arguing in Ohio federal court Wednesday that the brewery's ongoing retaliation against her allows her to sue anytime.
Anheuser-Busch has asked an Ohio federal judge to toss a claim that it stripped a worker of her union steward responsibilities in part because she received workers' compensation benefits, saying the worker missed a deadline for including that allegation in her discrimination and workplace retaliation suit.
