GRAND RAPIDS (WKZO) — A wrongful termination lawsuit against the southwestern Michigan economic development organization Cornerstone Alliance is headed to trial in November 2015 in federal court in Grand Rapids.
Reyna Price of Coloma filed the lawsuit in August 2014, alleging the economic development organization discriminated against her because of time she needed to care for her disabled seven-year-old daughter. She sued on the grounds that her firing violates the Americans With Disabilities Act.
Cornerstone argues that the organization is not an “employer” as defined by the ADA, and they had legitimate reasons for the dismissal.
