Herrera v. CU Cooperative Systems
Plaintiff and appellant, Roxanne Herrera, sued her former employer, defendant and respondent, CU Cooperative Systems, Inc. (CO-OP), alleging three violations of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) (Gov. Code, § 12940 et seq.)[1] based on her pregnancy. She alleged that CO-OP wrongfully terminated her because she was pregnant (first cause of action), wrongfully denied her pregnancy disability leave (PDL) by terminating her while she was on PDL (second cause of action), and wrongfully failed to accommodate her pregnancy-related medical condition, gestational diabetes, by refusing to allow her to eat meals at her desk (third cause of action). The trial court entered judgment in favor of CO-OP after granting its motion for summary judgment. Herrera appeals, claiming she presented sufficient evidence to raise triable issues of fact on each of her three causes of action. We disagree and affirm the judgment in favor of CO-OP.
