Latasha Martin is suing City of Atlanta for discrimination and retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADAAA)

Latasha Martin has filed a lawsuit against the City of Atlanta, Georgia, alleging discrimination and retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADAAA). The complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, details Martin’s struggles with carpal tunnel syndrome and her requests for reasonable accommodations that were allegedly denied by her employer. Martin claims that after being transferred to a position requiring extensive typing, her condition worsened. Despite informing her superiors and requesting accommodations such as reduced typing hours or department reassignment, her requests were refused. Martin alleges that this led to further discrimination and retaliation, including poor performance reviews and increased workloads. Ultimately, she resigned due to what she describes as an intolerable work environment. Martin seeks back pay, compensatory damages, attorney fees, and other relief.
