Mealey's (June 7, 2019, 11:56 AM EDT) -- PHILADELPHIA — A health system call center worker whose job entailed answering phone calls from patients and staff at two hospitals was fired for taking too long for breaks and sleeping while on the clock and because of her disability, a Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel ruled June 5, adding that there was no showing of refusal to provide accommodation as the worker never requested one (Wanda Arana v. Temple University Health System, No. 18-2124, 3rd Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 16960)....
