Jury awards $5.2M in Walmart disability discrimination case

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A jury has awarded a former Wisconsin Walmart employee $5.2 million in a disability discrimination case.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says the jury determined that Walmart violated federal law when it refused to accommodate the man’s disabilities.
The man has a developmental disability and is deaf and visually impaired. He worked as a cart pusher at a Walmart in Beloit for 16 years before a new manager started at the store in 2015.
