In McGuiness v East/West Industries, the plaintiff alleged that he was fired in retaliation for taking a family medical leave of absence to care for his severely ill child. Judge Wexler granted our motion for summary judgment and dismissed the complaint. We were able to successfully convince the court that the claimant did not have an ongoing open ended right to family medical leave and that the claimant’s employment was terminated as a result of poor attendance and an economic slowdown. The decision can be found here.
Michael A. Miranda and Maurizio Savoiardo defended the case.
