U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charged Wal-Mart for its unlawfully firing a long-time pharmacy employee because of a disability she suffered from a gunshot wound.
Glenda Crocamo, worked in Wal-mart since 1993, was fired after a gunshot accident, which damaged her spinal cord and required her to use a cane to walk, despiting her good successful job performance history.
EEOC filed a suit on behalf of her, seeking back wages, damages and changes in Wal-Mart policy.
OSHA Standards [29:1910.157 (L) Fire Protection] require that every employer provide portable fire extinguishers and shall mount, locate, and identify them so that they are readily accessible to employees without subjecting them to possible injury.
