LOS ANGELES -- A woman claims to have suffered discrimination, among other violations, while working for AT&T.
Karina Robles filed a complaint on Feb. 8 in San Bernardino County Superior Court against AT&T Mobility Services, LLC and Does 1-50 for disability discrimination, failure to provide reasonable accommodations, failure to engage in good faith interactive process, retaliation, retaliation for reporting illegal violations, failure to prevent discrimination, wrongful termination, failure to provide meal periods, failure to provide rest periods, continuing wages and unfair competition.
AT&T removed the case to federal court on July 2.
According to the complaint, Robles began working for AT&T in June 2014, and in August 2016, she was transferred to the Rancho Cucamonga location and promoted to Retail Sales Consultant.
Robles alleges that during the time of her employment, she was not allotted her meal breaks. Robles alleges to have suffered a work injury in 2017 that forced her to see a chiropractor.
Robles also alleges that AT&T did not allow accommodations for her after her injury and her continued disability caused by the injury. In May 2018, Robles went on workers' compensation, the suit says.
On Jan 15, 2019, Robles received a Return-to-Work letter that gave her a date to return and explained her options if she could not comply to the date, the suit says. Robles was considered 'voluntary resigned' as of Feb. 14, 2019.
