Walmart hit with lawsuit, accused of firing a Florida mom who claims managers harassed her and denied lactation accommodations
A Florida woman is suing Walmart for discrimination after her termination in 2021, saying that as a new mom, she was harassed and her lactation needs were ignored leading up to the firing, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit, which describes Alegata as an"excellent worker," says the woman started in 2019 as a deli and bakery clerk at the DeFuniak Springs location, about 65 miles from Panama City.
She was fired in January 2021 just two days after pointing out that denying her request violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, according to the Miami Herald. Randy Hargrove, a Walmart spokesperson, provided McClatchy News with a statement."We support our associates by providing accommodations every day and believe store management provided with the necessary breaks to express milk in a secure, clean and private area," it said.
