A Charleston woman has filed a lawsuit against the Shoney's restaurant she had worked at since 1985. The woman's lawsuit alleges that she was treated unfairly following a slip-and-fall accident in the workplace that left her with injuries to her right knee. The woman claims that she was not allowed to return to her original position at the restaurant and was instead offered lower-paying jobs or positions much further away from her home and the original location. The woman is seeking compensation for discriminatory action and retaliation, as well as punitive damages against the restaurant.
