Bar Harbor shop discriminated against employee with cerebral palsy, commission finds

A Hancock man who suffers from cerebral palsy was vindicated Monday when the Maine Human Rights Commission ruled that reasonable grounds exist to believe he had been discriminated against by a Bar Harbor shop that fired him after nine days on the job. Geddy’s Pub, doing business as Geddy’s Down Under, contested that the man – a full-time college student named Adam Clark – was laid off in May 2013 because of a lull in work caused by the late opening of nearby Acadia National Park that spring.
