The recent case of Albunio v. City of New York, provides a potent example of New York's recent record of civil rights advances and demonstrates the breadth of its anti-discrimination law. The case applies the retaliation provision of the New York City Human Rights Law to co-employees who stand up for others in their workplace who face employer discrimination.
STS Tire Stores Unfriendly to those Most Reliant on Wheels - The Paraplegic STS Tire and Auto Centers puts people on new wheels all over the northeast with about 60 locations in New Jersey, 21 in Pennsylvania and 26 in New York. However, according to paraplegic Jose Clemente, STS is unfriendly to the wheels he is most reliant on-those on his wheelchair. In his federal court lawsuit, Clemente claims that some STS locations fail to follow the federal Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") by failing to accommodate disabled customers with appropriate parking and restroom accessibility. |
