Case: Disability Discrimination/Exhaustion Remedies (N.D. Ohio)

An Ohio federal court denied Quest Diagnostics’ partial motion to dismiss retaliation and Americans with Disabilities Act claims of a female employee who was treated with hostility for being friendly towards a transgender employee, passed up for promotions, and not reasonably accommodated for a brain injury, finding no evidence that Quest was prejudiced by her initial failure to sign her EEOC charge, and her complaint didn’t establish the elements of Quest’s administrative exhaustion defense.
