J. Carr grants the employer's motion for summary judgment, ruling any factual disputes about discrimination experienced by the black employee are irrelevant because she failed to file her complaint within the 6-month statute of limitations included in her signed employee handbook. The employee claims she never read the handbook, but that is also irrelevant because she signed the document, which included the 6-month limitation in capitalized and bolded lettering.
Court: USDC Northern District of Ohio, Judge: Carr, Filed On: July 27, 2023, Case #: 3:20cv1992, NOS: Family and Medical Leave Act - Labor, Categories: civil Procedure, employment Discrimination, contract
J. Rodriguez finds a lower court erred in dismissing a pro se case brought by a worker against her employer for alleged unpaid wages and other claims. The court dismissed the case on procedural grounds after finding the worker had not adequately pleaded the basis of her claims or that the claims were otherwise duplicative with a federal complaint, but in fact the worker had provided sufficient allegations, including regarding “the existence of a valid contract,” to proceed. Reversed in part.

J. Fleming grants the employer's motion to intervene, ruling that because the fired employee's claims regarding the coworker's breach of a commission agreement are directly related to whether the employer was contractually allowed to fire the employee, it has a legitimate purpose to be included in the suit. Therefore, because the request was made in a timely manner and the lawsuit has hardly progressed since being filed, the employer will be included in the case moving forward.
