EEOC Sues Midwest ISO for Disability Discrimination

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has sued Midwest ISO for not providing reasonable accommodations to an employee and then firing her because of a disability. The company refused the employee's request for a leave of absence to help her handle post-pregnancy depression. Under the [Americans with Disabilities Act][1], employers must provide reasonable accommodations to an employee with a disability, unless it causes significant difficulty or expense for the employer.
