Chamber director tells lawmakers changes needed in
statute of limitations law
Suzanne Northern-Blazar, a Chamber director and general
manager of Owensboro's Unifirst plant, testified last
Friday before the legislature's Interim Joint Judiciary
Committee about an issue first championed by the Greater
Owensboro Chamber three years ago. Current Kentucky
law allows employees up to five years after cessation of
employment to bring a wrongful termination or
discrimination lawsuit. Limitations in most states are three
years or less. Northern-Blazar talked about how the
five-year limit can place undue burden on employers. A
bill
about the issue is expected to be introduced in the 2010
General Assembly.
