AMARILLO — Contractor B&W Pantex has agreed to settle an employment discrimination lawsuit filed by a security officer who claimed plant officials illegally medically disqualified him as a guard after he received a pacemaker.
In September, Jeffery Turner, a Pantex security officer for more than 15 years, sued B&W, claiming a B&W doctor declared him “permanently disqualified” from his position on May 9, 2011, because he was not able to safely and effectively perform his duties.
