EEOC sues Barnes & Noble College Booksellers for disability discrimination

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is suing Barnes & Noble College Booksellers for allegedly firing a California employee with postpartum depression after denying her request for extended unpaid leave. The lawsuit claims the company failed to provide a reasonable accommodation and instead encouraged her to resign. This violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
