"Lawsuit Claims Man’s Flatulence Prompted Firing"
"
Extreme gas" occurred after gastric bypass, complaint says...
A Pennsylvania man was fired from his job at a pork roll producer due to extreme flatulence brought on by gastric bypass surgery, according to a discrimination lawsuit filed by the man’s wife.
In a federal complaint, Louann Clem, 59, charges that the Case Pork Roll Company terminated her husband Richard, 70, last year after the Trenton, New Jersey firm’s president frequently complained about her spouse’s condition
Louann Clem, who also worked for the company, said that her husband--who weighed 420 pounds--underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2010. “As a result of the surgery, Mr. Clem suffered side effects such as extreme gas and uncontrollable diarrhea,” the lawsuit notes.
As her husband’s symptoms worsened, Clem says, a“significant disruption in the workplace” occurred.

After age 65, a person's legal right to employment decreases. Especially if they stink.
You gotta admit that 420 lbs at age 70 (or even 65) is quite an achievement! But who can blame them (he and the younger litigious she) for trying to parlay a couple of insults into a couple million to see them through a dorito retirement.
It sounds like it was the significant eruptions that were the problem.
Are farts covered under the first amendment. I think RBG would be sympathetic to this plaintiff.
his job at a pork roll producer
Pork roll?
What is that?
ah - why not just add to the label. "Now with extra flavor!"
I want a guy with diarrhea handling my pork rolls.
I worked w/ a 350lb. guy who would just sit in his office eat and fart. There is a famous donut shop in KC, LaMar's Donuts. This guy would buy a dozen glazed every morning and sit in his office. I was one of the people who unfortunately had to go into his office to get reports. I had to take a deep breath before entering and keep it short and sweet.
This sounds like a bunch of baloney to me.
I think we're being spammed.
LOL
The Talking Vagina Coalition has voted to defray the cost of his legal fees.
Patients, post-surgery, who eat more than a tiny bit of food at a time have serious gastric distress, even years later. What do you want to bet he is still overeating?
