Mentally handicapped worker discriminated against and forced to work at night.
I work for a Wal-Mart store in Texas. I was made aware of a situation involving a mildly mentally disabled worker and a new district manager with a reported ‘zero tolerance’ towards disabled employees. This particular disabled employee has been a loyal and hard-working asset to our store for many years now. One day I realized that I had not seen this employee for a couple of weeks and asked around the store to see if anyone knew where he was. I was told by multiple store employees that he had been forced to leave his daytime shift and go overnights by the new district manager because he was not ‘the face’ that he wanted to represent Wal-Mart. This particular disabled employee was given no reason or choice in regard to this decision. Needless to say, he was extremely disturbed by this course of action.
