Former Kroger Employee Files Lawsuit with Claims of Disability Discrimination, Harassment
Former Kroger Employee Files Lawsuit with Claims of Disability Discrimination, Harassment
Published: Monday, 10 Sep 2012 | 4:09 PM ET
PLANO, Texas, Sep 10, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- A former employee of Cincinnati-based grocery chain The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) has filed a discrimination and harassment lawsuit in federal court based on claims Kroger fired him because of his mental and physical disabilities, and despite his multiple commendations and a successful work history.
Plano resident Karl Tipple, 24, filed the suit on September 5 in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Plano, case number 4:12-CV-00573, after receiving Right to Sue Letters from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Texas Workforce Commission.
The lawsuit alleges that the manager of Kroger Store 581, located in the 2900 block of Custer Road in Plano, repeatedly harassed Mr. Tipple for more than a year, including referring to Mr. Tipple on numerous occasions as a "f------ retarded idiot" who was "too stupid to live." Mr. Tipple, who began working at another Kroger location more than six years ago, suffers from an attention-deficit disorder and partial deafness, and has an IQ that allows him to read and write on a third-grade level. He was transferred to Kroger's Custer Road location in November 2010 as an Assistant Bakery Manager, but was quickly demoted to a checker and bagger position and was forced to file multiple grievances to gain full-time employment from his supervisors.
"This is clearly a case where a high-functioning person with special needs has been victimized by the prejudices and bias of his manager, all supported by other Kroger officials," says attorney Matthew Scott of the Kendall Law Group in Dallas, who represents Mr. Tipple. "Karl has a longstanding record as an exemplary Kroger employee, but that didn't seem to matter when he moved to the new store. After his transfer, Karl faced a series of attempts to bully and scare him into quitting." According to the lawsuit, the store manager frequently yelled at Mr. Tipple on the sales floor, forced him to work alone on certain tasks, brought unsubstantiated allegations against him from other employees, and ultimately filed a false customer complaint that was later withdrawn. In addition, the manager confiscated Mr. Tipple's personal cell phone, apparently believing that the phone was being used to document violations of corporate and union policies by the manager and other employees. Until his firing in December 2011, Mr. Tipple served as the youngest elected Steward of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union in Kroger's history.

denver wins big
Manning tosses 2 TDs in return to pace Broncos
DENVER -- Peyton Manning made a successful NFL return from a year's sabbatical, leading the Denver Broncos past the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-19 in his Denver debut Sunday night.
The four-time MVP coming off four neck surgeries completed 19 of 26 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns.
He got a big assist from another free agent, cornerback Tracy Porter
, whose 43-yard interception return of Ben Roethlisberger's pass with 2 minutes left sealed the win.
Manning, jettisoned by the Indianapolis Colts in March after missing all of last season with a nerve injury that weakened his throwing arm, hit Demaryius Thomas with a 71-yard touchdown toss for his first score as a Bronco. It was his 400th career TD toss

Bodycount (2011)
Description Of Bodycount
Bodycount is a fast-playing first-person shooter, distinguished by fantastically powerful guns and realistically destructible battlefield environments. Nearly all objects that make up the battlefields are eminently "shreddable." From roadside slag and debris to entire buildings, the game world can be dynamically blasted to bits. Player characters can act freely, even when hiding behind cover, but enemies will destroy nearly any makeshift shield with a few well-placed rounds from the overpowered weaponry. While suitably grim, with hints of dark humor, the game world is rendered in bright, vivid, colors, all the better to view its shot-by-shot destruction. The narrative follows a mercenary squad of modern-day warriors, working for a vague organization called "The Network," broadly tasked with eliminating "Targets" from one mission to the next. Cooperative and competitive online multiplayer modes are also featured. The game was created by Codemasters' Guildford Studio, and runs on a version of the publisher's EGO game engine. The design team includes former Criterion Studios developers who worked on the similarly styled Black for Xbox and PS2. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide
