Protected against discrimination

According to lawsuit, manment upon learning of his medical condition immediately changed his timing which would make it extremely difficult for him to work and when he expressed his concerns he was promptly fired. Based on this lawsuit claims that Gutierezz's firing was discrimination which is in violation of Americans with Disabilities Act.

Fired without warning

According to Gutierrez, in year that he worked at restaurant before he received complaints and manment liked his work. He claims that he was given warning before his termination. US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has alrey previously said that HIV cant be transmitted by eating food handled by someone with HIV.

People with HIV have been protected against discrimination under Americans Against Discrimination Act since 1998, but still office of Equal Employment Opportunity Commission receives dozens of claims of discrimination every year. Gutierrez's lawyers have stated that Gutierrez is still angry and upset about his termination.
