MINNEAPOLIS – Lake States Lumber, Inc., a company operating in Duluth, Minn., has agreed to pay $100,000 to resolve a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency announced today.
According to the EEOC’s suit, an employee who worked for Lake States Lumber, a manufacturer and wholesale distributor of lumber and wood products, took leave for heart surgery. After surgery, his doctors released him to return to work with no restrictions, but managers restricted his ability to work and assigned him to a different job. Nine days later, he was fired, the EEOC said.
