Ex-CoreCivic Manager’s Dismissal: A Case of Wrongful Discharge and Disability Discrimination?

In the upcoming trial, CoreCivic of Tennessee LLC will face allegations made by a former employee suffering from mental health issues. The ex-employee, who was terminated from his position as a unit manager in Shelby, Montana, claims that his dismissal violated state wrongful discharge and disability discrimination laws.

CoreCivic contends that the worker was let go due to allegations that he retaliated against a Hispanic subordinate who had reported him for mocking her accent. However, there is also the possibility that a jury could interpret the events leading up to the former manager’s termination differently, suggesting that CoreCivic may have used the incident as a convenient excuse to let him go.

The trial will offer an opportunity for both sides to present their arguments and evidence, allowing the jury to make a determination based on the facts presented. It will be a test of whether the former employee’s termination was justified or if there was a violation of employment and discrimination laws. The outcome of the trial will ultimately determine the legality of the actions taken by CoreCivic in this case.
