Case: Disability Discrimination/Arbitration (E.D. Wis.)

A Wisconsin federal district court denied Pfizer’s motion to compel arbitration on claims brought by a temporary warehouse associate with a prescription for oxycodone under the Americans with Disabilities Act, finding that Pfizer, as a non-signatory to the arbitration agreement between the employee and Manpower US, could not enforce the agreement under Wisconsin contract law principles, while also determining that the employee had sufficiently alleged that Pfizer regarded her as disabled and terminated her on that basis.
