CHARLESTON — A certified nursing assistant is suing health care operators, alleging retaliation and wrongful termination.
Cindi Neal of Kanawha County filed a complaint in Kanawha Circuit Court against Sunbridge Dunbar Health Care LLC, alleging failure to follow company and state health and safety rules and laws.
According to the complaint, on Aug. 15, 2016, Neal was terminated from her employment where she had worked since 2013. She says she has suffered lost wages and employment benefits, embarrassment, emotional distress and mental anguish.
