A U.S. appeals court has upheld a $300,000 award for a former Walmart employee with Down syndrome. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) claimed that the employee was fired after 15 years with the company due to her disability. A unanimous three-judge panel of the 7th Circuit supported the decision, which also allows the EEOC to push for Walmart to enhance its disability accommodation training. This ruling follows a jury's finding that Walmart intentionally discriminated against the employee.
