The fight for workplace justice continues! Nichols Law is proud to stand alongside Maria Bourn and her team in securing a key victory for our client, Ricky Appin, a transgender woman in her 70s who was terminated under the guise of a fake layoff (of two people) after nearly two decades of service. Her employer tried to kick out her case, but a federal judge ruled that her discrimination and retaliation claims will proceed to trial.
As our team told Law360: “Sadly, this is going to be a pretty serious issue going forward given the new change in leadership and the anti-transgender push and anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion push. And it’s going to be covered up with reduction-in-forces.”
No one should be cast aside because of who they are or the challenges they face. Cases like this remind us why we fight—for fairness, dignity, and respect in every workplace.
