An Inclusive Litany
12/20/96
In Stuart, Florida, Pamela Harrison sued her former employer, the Kat
Tales Club, alleging wrongful termination from her job as an exotic
dancer. Harrison had undergone surgery that required her to wear an
ostomy bag tucked into her G-string, into which body waste could flow
during her performance. Harrison was fired following complaints from
fellow dancers, who feared a health hazard. Harrison's complaint
alleges that she was discriminated against based on her disability.
An expert cited by the Associated Press said there was no health
threat to others.
