Mercer County Pork Roll Company Fired Man For Excessive Farting, Lawsuit Claims
Richard Clem, of Levittown, weighed about 420 pounds when he began work in 2008 as a part-time administrative assistant at the Case Pork Roll Co.in Trenton.
The comments continued until Richard Clem was sacked on February 28, 2014. Richard Clem filed a lawsuit against the company, writes the New York Daily News, and says his “extreme gas and uncontrollable diarrhea” were a result of life-saving gastric bypass surgery he underwent in 2010.
Sounds like Miller is just the witness the Clems are looking for in their lawsuit.
“This can’t go on”, Dolan purportedly said to Luann Clem.
The lawsuit by Louann Clemm takes aim at Case Pork Roll Co, saying its president harassed her and her husband – who worked together – until he was sacked and she was forced to quit.
In 2013, Clem’s symptoms worsened, which caused “significant disruption in the workplace”, according to the suit. She claims he said they couldn’t “run an office like this” and expose their customers to that odor, according to the report.
“Flatulence and farting is the sexy part of the story, but my client suffers from obesity, which is covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act“, Koller told The Huffington Post. It seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
“We have to do something about Rich. This can’t go on”.
“I’m speaking up for people who are overweight”, he said. The lawsuit claims Rich was sent home because of the smell, and eventually fired over it.
