Case: Discrimination/Constructive Discharge (E.D. Pa.)

A patient resource representative in her 60s couldn’t show that Maine Line Health in Pennsylvania forced her to quit because of her age following an incident in which she registered the wrong patient for a blood test. The company threatened her with termination if she committed further errors but gave her the option to resign without losing her pension, she admitted that all representatives—regardless of age—were held to the same standards and that the company had recently began an internal campaign to ramp up worker productivity. The case is Gillespie v. Main Line Health, 2019 BL 4637, E.D. Pa., 18-60, 1/7/19
