Dollar General workers demand safer working conditions as violence at stores surgesDollar General has agreed to cough up $42,500 to settle a lawsuit claiming a manager at a Georgia store fired a staffer “immediately” after finding out she was pregnant, and citing “health reasons” in her separation notice.
Later that evening, the store manager called Rutledge to apologize for firing her, and said she would inquire about whether she could return to work for “light duty” at two hours per day the EEOC claimed in the court documents obtained by The Post. “Rutledge was never again placed on the work schedule,” according to the lawsuit and just days after revealing her pregnancy, Rutledge received a separation notice stating her discharge was due to “health reasons.”Of the sum, $29,750 will cover compensatory damages while $12,750 goes towards back pay damages.
