Legal Question in Disability Law in California

Employement Law, ADA

I was terminated after 21 years

with an excellent record eight

weeks after asking for and

receiving an accommodation in my

work start hours due to

surrendering my driver's license

because of my narcolepsy. IUOE

Local 39, my union is taking my

case to arbitration for lack of just

cause. If the union wins will I be

able to sue for damages separate

from the arbitration?

Yes, I believe you can. In fact, I think you could sue REGARDLESS of the outcome at arbitration.

If we were to meet and go over your case, I would need to see the collective bargaining agreement. Also, i would need to see some documentation as to the pretext they used when they fired you. It seems odd that they accomodated you, and then fired you.

PLease give me a call at 877-LION-FOR-LAW to discuss this matter further.
