Julie Cervantes filed a complaint on Oct. 5 in the San Joaquin Superior Court against NLN Bro Inc., doing business as Saigon Unphogettabowl, and Does 1-100 alleging violation of California Labor Code.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff is a former employee of the defendant and was employed from April to November 2017. She alleges she was regularly harassed because of her rheumatoid arthritis and discriminated against because of her disability. She alleges she was wrongfully terminated because of her complaints of harassment.
