National Grid must pay 2 workers a total of $3.1M for denying them remote work after pandemic (Thanks to Bernadette for this one)
The National Grid gas company must pay a total of $3.1 million to two ex-workers with health issues for rejecting their requests to continue working from home after the pandemic, a Brooklyn jury has ruled.
“Employers, mainly large ones, do view disabled workers as a group seeking privilege, just like [National Grid’s] lawyer said,” said Arthur Schwartz, the lawyer for the plaintiff and also general counsel for the Center for Independence of the Disabled in New York. “They better look at this verdict and think twice,” he said.
