Pregnant woman fired by Chipotle gets $550K
Source: Atlanta Journal Constitution
A former employee at a Chipotle restaurant in Washington, D.C., said she was fired back in 2011 for being pregnant.
Now, five years later, a jury has found she was discriminated against by her ex-manager, and she's getting a payout because of it.
According to the lawsuit, which was obtained by the Washington Business Journal, the jury awarded Doris Garcia Hernandez $550,000 in damages after they found the manager, referred to only as David, fired her due to her pregnancy.
The suit says after Hernandez told David she was pregnant, she was told she "had to announce to every employee in the store when she was going to the bathroom and that David would have to approve her bathroom breaks so that he could cover her work position for her."
