    In Latowski, the defendant claims that the plaintiff’s employment was terminated because she had a lifting restriction due to her pregnancy. The plaintiff disputes this proffered reason by claiming that discriminatory statements made against her show the actual motivation for her termination was in fact her pregnancy. This is very similar to the current case because even though the Defendant has stated that the travel accommodations were denied to the plaintiff because she lacked seniority, made her request after Johnathon Myers, and because no other Master Sculptor was available to complete the project, there were also discriminatory remarks made by Kathleen Bosko. These comments were made right after the Plaintiff requested accommodations and included Bosko reminding the Plaintiff that as a Master Sculptor at Bosko Arts Inc,, she holds a “plum position” in the art world and enjoys “steady employment and employment benefits.” Furthermore, in the case of Latowski, the remarks were made by individuals who were involved in or could influence the decision making of the adverse employment conduct, namely Judy Doyle and Rick Ackerman.…
