THE Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in the US is suing Starbucks for firing a dwarf who asked for a stool to perform her job as a barista at an El Paso, Texas shop. An EEOC statement said the lawsuit was filed today in federal court in El Paso.
It alleges that Starbucks fired Elsa Sallard after three days of training because it deemed she'd pose a danger to customers and coworkers. The EEOC contends Starbucks' actions violated the Americans With Disabilities Act.
The agency also seeks lost wages and compensatory damages for Ms Sallard and a court order that Starbucks adopt policies to correct and prevent disability discrimination.
Starbucks said in a statement that their policies provide for equal employment opportunities and strictly prohibit discrimination on the basis of disability.
