LEARNING DISABILITIES ARE PROTECTED UNDER MEDICAL DISCRIMINATION AT WORK IN CALIFORNIA

Learning disabilities, sometimes called a learning disorder or learning difficulty, is a disorder in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner. The cause is unknown but affects the brain's ability to receive and process information. If you have a learning disability, and it is a recognized medical disability, this is not a reason for your employer to discriminate against you.

A long-time male employee at a local grocery store suffered from a severe learning disability. However, he was still able to complete the tasks his employer gave him. This didn’t stop supervisors from taunting and harassing him, making fun of him for his disability. The employee is standing up for his rights and is suing the grocery store for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
