CHARLESTON – A Greenbrier County woman says she was the victim of age discrimination by her former employer.
Maureen Lonanacre, 62, filed her complaint against the National Council On Compensation Insurance Inc. in Kanawha Circuit Court.
According to her complaint, Longanacre was employed by the defendant for 16 years. She says she consistently performed her duties in a satisfactory manner.
