McDonald's settles weight discrimination lawsuit from job applicant
McDonald's settles weight discrimination lawsuit from job applicant
RIDGEPORT, Connecticut (AP) -- McDonald's has settled a lawsuit filed by a 420-pound man who claimed he was denied a job because of his weight. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Joseph Connor claimed in his lawsuit that the fast-food chain violated the Americans with Disabilities Act and state employment law. He demanded $300,000 for financial loss and severe emotional trauma, along with a job at McDonald's. Connor's attorney, Gary Phelan, said Connor does not have a job with the chain, but beyond that he would not discuss the settlement. "This matter has been resolved amicably, and without further litigation," Phelan said. McDonald's issued a similar statement. Connor had been offered a $6.75 an hour job as cook after attending a job fair in 2000, according to court documents. However, over ensuing weeks, Connor claimed that after arrangements were made for him to get a uniform, he never got a call from management again.

Was the settlement less than the projected loss related to the employee free lunch program?

So far we have one cow against it, and the other cow asking questions.
This could get confusing!

Dollars to donuts says that the settlement involved a lifetime supply of fried something.

Personally, I don't want someone that weighs 420 pounds serving me my double quarter pounder with cheese.
Damn, I don't want to see what it'll do to me. I just want to eat the cheese drenched burger and the grease filled fries. No reason to give me a before and after picture. Of course, that's Super-Sized with a Dr. Pepper to go. |
