On August 7, 2026, Kennedy Hunt P.C. filed a complaint against General Motors LLC, alleging the company discriminated against our client based on her disability and age and retaliated against her during her employment, including by terminating her employment.
The lawsuit alleges that, during her employment, our client made complaints that General Motors was discriminating against her because of her disability, and also reported sexual harassment in the workplace. Our client has the medical condition of anxiety.
The lawsuit claims that after our client’s mother died, General Motors denied our client one additional day of bereavement leave. Our client took the additional day, but when she returned, General Motors allegedly verbally attacked and issued her a warning for failing to comply with her job duties.
Afterward, the lawsuit alleges that our client took medical leave for approximately one month due to her anxiety. According to the lawsuit, when she returned, our client was told she was “not making him look good” and was “ruining his reputation.”
The lawsuit further alleges that when our client asked for help with her supervisor, General Motors took no effective remedial action. Additionally, the lawsuit claims that General Motors wanted to put a younger person in our client’s role.
The lawsuit also claims that when our client later requested medical leave due to anxiety and/or stress, her short-term disability was denied. The lawsuit alleges that General Motors had previously called the disability leave insurer and instructed it to deny disability leave for other employees in the past.
General Motors then terminated our client’s employment in February 2026.
This case is ongoing.
