Lawsuit Filed by Jackson Spencer Law Alleges HarborChase of Southlake Fired Sales Director for Refusing to Participate in Illegal Price Fixing
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, Sarah Harris claims that her supervisors at HarborChase of Southlake fired her for refusing to violate federal anti-trust laws by sharing pricing information with competitors.
DALLAS, Oct. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The former Director of Sales of an upscale assisted living facility in Southlake claims she was fired for refusing to violate federal anti-trust laws by sharing pricing information with competitors.
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Fort Worth Division, Sarah Harris claims that her supervisors at HarborChase of Southlake fired her when she refused to complete her employer's Competitive Analysis spreadsheet. More information about the lawsuit can be found here.
Firing Harris was allegedly a retaliatory termination in violation of the whistleblower provision of the Criminal Antitrust Anti-Retaliation Act of 2019, says Harris's attorney, Jennifer Spencer, of Dallas' Jackson Spencer Law.
"Rather than do the right thing — which would have been to address Harris's concerns and change the way they do business — HarborChase chose to kill the messenger," Spencer says. "My client saw what was obvious to everyone in the room: that HarborChase and its competitors were engaging in price-fixing and taking advantage of senior citizens. But instead of being rewarded for standing up for what was right, she was shown the door."
Harris seeks unspecified damages consisting of past and future lost wages, compensation for past and future emotional distress, pre- and post-judgment interest, and litigation expenses. The lawsuit is Sarah Harris v. Harbor Southlake Management, LLC, dba HarborChase Southlake, et al., No. 4:22-cv-00854-P.
