Partner Leslie Levy filed a complaint on behalf of a disabled African American woman who was employed  at a Bay Area nursing home facility.  The employee was denied approved disability leave and subjected to differential treatment because of her race.  Additionally, the employer failed to provide basic accommodations for the employee, such as wheelchair accessible bathrooms.  The employer terminated the worker following her complaints and replaced her with a non-disabled, non-African American employee.  The matter settled in the mid-six figures.
