Low Point for Lowe’s

Looks like the management at Lowe’s in Longview hit a low point. According to an article in the Seattle Times (see below), three employees endured months of discrimination by their employer. I don’t know on what basis they were discriminated, but it was enough to earn a $1.7 million settlement.

Since the suit was filed in federal court, the plaintiffs were entitled to punitive damages up to $300,000. Generally courts don’t award these damages often, unless the conduct is very egregious. In this case, it sounds like it was.
