Ex-Employee Files $1.4 M Suit, Alleging Portland Car Dealership Covered Up Coronavirus Outbreak
“A finance manager at a used car dealership in Portland was fired by his boss during a staff meeting for questioning the company’s alleged cover-up of a coronavirus cluster, a lawsuit claims,” reports Maxine Bernstein in The Oregonian/OregonLive’s Coronavirus.
“Shawn McCrary, 41, of Portland, sued Lapin Motor Co. and owner Leo Lapin in a wrongful discharge and whistleblower suit this month, seeking $1.4 million in damages.”
“McCrary alleges Lapin berated, assaulted and fired him in an ‘alcohol and drug-induced rage’ during an all-staff meeting on July 31.”
