Discriminаtiоn is а sensitive subject. While the fаcts оf a discriminatiоn lawsuit can often be difficult to read, it is important to understand how these issues play out in the workplace. Both employees and employers need to understand their rights and obligations under the law. Pierre is employed as a shuttle driver by a small boutique hotel in Dallas, Texas. The hotel offers complimentary shuttle service to and from the Dallas airport to its guests. The hotel has 20 employees, including Pierre. He was hired in 2012 and has been a model employee since that time—always arrives to work early, rarely takes sick days, and is pleasant to all the customers. However, over the past five years, Pierre has put on a significant amount of weight, and his manager, Jamie, has become increasingly concerned about Pierre’s ability to help customers in the event of an emergency. Because the shuttle is small, Pierre is not required to maintain a commercial driver’s license and, therefore, is not subject to regular medical testing by the Department of Transportation. Jamie called Pierre into his office one day before Pierre’s shift was about to start and said, “I know you’ve always done a good job here, but I’m really concerned that your weight could affect the safety of the passengers in the event of an emergency. What if a customer had a medical emergency? What if you needed to help a customer in a wheelchair exit the vehicle in the event of an accident? Would you be able to get to them quickly and help them?” Pierre became visibly distraught and after a few moments responded, “I know I have put on some weight since I started here, but last I looked it wasn’t a crime. And besides that, I’m seeing a therapist for a food addiction so you can’t fire me. I’m protected under the ADA.” Then Pierre walked out of the office and completed his shift without incident. Several days later, the management of the hotel developed a new provision in its employee manual which stated, in part, “Due to health concerns for employees, rising health insurance premiums, and the safety of our guests, it shall be the policy of this company and hotel that no employee shall have a body mass index which qualifies them as having obesity, has high cholesterol, and consumes “fast food” while off duty. Any employee in violation of this policy shall be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.” The hotel published the new policy on the “News for Employees” board in the back office. When Pierre got into the office, he saw the posting and became extremely distressed. He decided he needed to take the rest of the day off to collect himself and made an appointment to speak with his supervisor the following day. When Pierre arrived for his appointment with Jamie, Jamie stated, “I’m sure you have had time to review the new policy. The company will be asking all its employees to go in for medical testing next month, and they are going to have to submit the results to our health insurance carrier to see if we can get a better rate. I don’t know how we will be able to continue operating the business if we don’t get some kind of break in our costs. I hope you understand that the company is serious with this policy. It is for financial reasons and has nothing to do with you personally.” Pierre responded, “I feel like I am being targeted. I have never had an issue at the company and because I have put on some weight you are going to fire me. There is no way that I would be able to lose enough weight by next month. On top of that, do you really think you can fire someone for eating fast food outside of work? That’s insane. The company can’t try to control people’s lives like this!” As he spoke, Pierre became more and more agitated, eventually reaching a state of anger, and said, “You just try to fire me! I’ll sue you so fast it will make your head spin.” Jamie answered, “This is an employment-at-will state. The company can get rid of you at any time. You better watch who you threaten!” Pierre stormed out of the office and Jamie phoned the company’s HR consultant to determine whether he could go ahead and terminate Pierre for having unruly behavior in his office.
