The agency that enforces federal employment discrimination laws is suing a Las Vegas casino operator, alleging it failed to provide reasonable accommodations to disabled employees.
In the lawsuit announced Thursday, the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission accuses the Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino of interfering with employees’ rights and retaliating against those who exercised their rights, a press release states.
Since at least 2018, Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino “failed to provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities including — but not limited to — levoscoliosis, sciatica and cancer,” an EEOC spokesperson stated.
Employees with disabilities who asked for “reasonable accommodation” — a right protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act — were subject to “over-scrutiny, threats of discipline, and, in one case, discharge,” the EEOC alleges.
