New York woman 'sacked after donating kidney to save boss's life' Apr 26th 2012, 18:35 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...osss-life.html At face value, what an awful story....I wonder if there's more behind the scenes.... Quote: A New York woman who donated a kidney so her ailing boss would move up the transplant waiting list says she was fired shortly after the operation, according to a complaint she filed with the New York State Division of Human Rights. Deborah Stevens said her former employer, Atlantic Automotive Group, discriminated against her over disabilities brought about by complications from the surgery, and she plans to sue the company for lost earnings and damages. The company, which runs car dealerships on Long Island, said Stevens's complaint is groundless. "My gal is just a good-natured woman who's trying to save a life and as soon as she did it, everything changed," said Stevens' lawyer Lenard Leeds on Tuesday. "When she wanted to take time off, she was scolded, she was yelled at," he said. "Instead of being sympathetic, they were very hostile towards her." Stevens, of Hicksville, New York, said she learned that Jacqueline Brucia, who worked at Atlantic Automotive, was in need of a kidney in November 2010. Stevens had worked there as well but at the time had temporarily moved to Florida.
