Hooray! Susan Kumagai and Brian Chun of Lafayette & Kumagai LLP successfully defended a Fortune 500 retail company in an employment arbitration, where Claimant alleged discrimination on the basis of sex (pregnancy), failure to prevent discrimination, failure to accommodate a pregnancy-related medical condition, retaliation for taking or requesting leave under the pregnancy disability law and wrongful termination. Respondent contended Claimant was neither discriminated nor retaliated against and that Claimant was terminated for legitimate business reasons. The arbitrator’s April 21, 2015 decision resulted in an ultimate finding on behalf of the firm’s client, the Respondent, on all claims. Kudos to Brian and Susan!
