Unusual to say the least, this lawsuit appeared on Friday night by the New York Post tabloid alleging “discrimination based on disability in violation of human rights laws” in New York.
Reported by a colleague
According to the account given in the complaint by his lawyer Alexander Sakin, Richard Becker was overcome one evening in February with an irresistible urge to sew while returning from dinner which Lenovo organized, 800 meters from his Westin hotel, near the famous Times Square intersection in Manhattan.
“Overwhelmed” by the urge, “Richard Becker then had to carefully urinate on the floor (of the hotel lobby) before he could reach the toilet in time,” said admitted the lawyer.
However, in the middle of urination, the sixty-year-old man was caught in the act by a colleague who, “out of sheer malice and malice, reported to human resources, although not Richard Becker’s behavior has harmed anyone,” I defended him. Sacain.
A disability known to the employer
“In a few days, Richard Becker was fired by his employer after a sham human resources audit that didn’t even question him” even though the incident had “no impact on his professional performance or his business .” from Lenovo,” said his guardian.
His client has been unemployed since February.
According to the court document, Lenovo was aware of Richard Becker’s bladder problems, which he says he has suffered since 2016, which are treated by a urologist and legally considered a disability, which hired it in 2022.
