A federal judge has ordered Walmart to rehire a woman with Down syndrome who had been fired from her job at one of the chain’s stores. Walmart must also give her more than $50,000 in back pay and cover jury damages of $300,000. The court turned down the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s request to approve tighter scrutiny of Walmart’s labor practices over the next five years.
