MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A former employee of the Mylan Pharmaceuticals facility in Morgantown has filed a lawsuit alleging the company of age and disability discrimination.
According to the lawsuit, 62-year-old Kenneth K. Zara began as a blender with the company in April 2007. He became the fluid bed coordinator by 2013.
The lawsuit alleges Zara’s supervisors encouraged him to consider early retirement or take a lesser position. Zara was later assigned tasks he was untrained to complete and fired in January 2019.
There is also an allegation that Zara was treated differently from younger employees who had made more severe mistakes.
