A United Airlines aircraft technician battling Stage 4 cancer is fighting back against the carrier after his boss called in the middle of a chemotherapy session and fired him for “taking too much time off,” according to a federal lawsuit obtained by The Independent.
In it, Hasan Syed says he continued working while undergoing treatment, and used his accrued sick leave and vacation time to cover any absences, typically taking a day or two off to recover from the debilitating effects of the chemotherapy.
