Jury Orders Walmart To Pay Fired Pharmacist $31.2 Million For Gender Discrimination
opposingviews.com
A New Hampshire jury has ruled that retail giant Walmart must pay $31.22 million in damages to a pharmacist fired from one of its outlets in 2012.
Maureen McPadden had worked at Walmart for 13 years when she was fired, allegedly for losing her pharmacy key, Reuters reported.
But McPadden argued this was used as a pretext to fire her. The real reason she was let go was because she had raised concerns about customers being given the wrong medication at the store’s pharmacy due to poor staff training, she claimed.
Her discrimination case was based on the fact that the company did not fire a male member of staff who also lost his pharmacy key.
Much of McPadden’s award was linked to her gender discrimination claim, netting $15 million in punitive damages.
