Another day, yet another lawsuit. Patently Apple reports that Canadian Robert Shaw, an ex-Apple Store Genius Bar employee, is suing Apple for “constructive dismissal.”
He claims Apple repeatedly refused to work on an individual accommodation plan with him, but choose to provide “piecemeal solutions” to his disability. Shaw is confined to a wheelchair.
The lawsuit was filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice by Toronto employment lawyer Andrew Monkhouse, managing partner of Monkhouse Law. The lawyer says Apple may well have failed to comply with Ontario’s Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and that the constructive dismissal of Robert constitutes discriminatory conduct under the Ontario Human Rights Code.
