EEOC throws book at Houston firm for alleged ADA violation

The EEOC is suing ENGlobal Engineering, based in Houston, for disability discrimination after the company fired a worker with multiple sclerosis. The EEOC suit alleges violations of the ADA, and seeks almost every possible kind of compensation: back pay, interest, lost wages, front pay, out-of-pocket expenses, court costs, punitive damages and damages for emotional pain and suffering, inconvenience and mental anguish.
