I was working for a hospital under a contract. The supervisor didn't renew my contract when he saw a doctor note that I couldn't be in X-ray rooms due to a medical condition (I was pregnant). He was also complaining to employees that I was constantly calling out sick, even though I had doctor's notes and I was not sharing anything with others. And I would be cheated breaks on time and go to lunch over my 5th hour. How much can I get for this lawsuit?
