Woman says former employer discriminated against her
Houston resident Christine Reid filed a lawsuit against American Eagle Protective Services Corp. on December 14, 2016.
Reid is claiming her employer engaged in retaliation and wrongful termination by neglecting to provide reasonable accommodation for her. She adds the company discriminated against her, subjected her to retaliation, and fired her because of her national origin and medical condition she sustained after a major surgery in the fall of 2013. The former employee, a Jamaican-American woman, is requesting a trial by jury, damages in an amount within the jurisdictional limits of the court, punitive damages excluding attorney fees, reinstatement, interests, cost of court, and other equitable relief as deemed necessary by the court.
