Return to Story IndexHUNT. HAMMER LAWSUIT
PARENTHOOD FOR ANY NEW MOTHER CAN BE A CHALLENGE... BUT SHANNON BARNHOUSE NOW HAS A LEGAL BATTLE ON HER HANDS WITH HER FORMER EMPLOYER, THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE HUNTINGTON HAMMER. BARNHOUSE- BARNHOUSE WAS THE FORMER ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT FOR GENERAL MANAGER DANIEL FISHER AND CLAIMS HE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND HARASSED HER DURING HER PREGNANCY. EYEWITNESS NEWS OBTAINED A COPY OF THE LAWSUIT BARNHOUSE FILED IN CABELL COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT... IN IT SHE CLAIMS DANIEL FISCHER WAS: ..PLACING HIS ARM AROUND HER WAIST AND THEN ACROSS HER REAR END ON A DAILY BASIS, MAKING COMMENTS ABOUT THE SIZE OF HER BREASTS, UNWELCOMED RUBBING OF HER SHOULDERS, HEAD AND BACK... FURTHER DOWN IN THE LAWSUIT... IT STATES: FISHER TOLD HER TO CROSS HER LEGS SO THAT SHE WOULD NOT GO INTO LABOR AND HAVE THE CHILD IN THE OFFICE... TELLING HER NOT TO BLEED IN THE CHAIR WHEN SHE WENT INTO LABOR, ASKING TO TAKE MATERNITY PICTURES OF HER NAKED... AND JUST LAST MONTH, THE HUNTINGTON HAMMER CALLED IT QUITS. CALLING OFF THEIR 2012 SEASON, STATING FINANCIAL ISSUES, NOT THE LAWSUIT. THE GENERAL MANGER, FISHER, SAYS HE CAN'T COMMENT ON THE ALLEGATIONS BUT DID HAVE ONE MESSAGE FOR EYEWITNESS NEWS... SAYING "ON THE ADVICE OF COUNCIL, MY ONLY STATEMENT AT THIS TIME IS TO COMPLETELY DENY ALL CHARGES." BARNHOUSE ALSO CLAIMS SHE WASN'T PAID THE STATE AND FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE, AS WELL AS, OVERTIME. WE WANT TO POINT OUT SHANNON BARNHOUSE DID NOT "QUIT" HER JOB... ACCORDING TO THE LAWSUIT SHE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO RETURN TO HER JOB AFTER MATERNITY LEAVE. HUNDREDS CAME TOGETHER IN CHARLESTON TODAY TO MOURN AND HONOR THE LIFE OF A PIONEER IN MENTAL ILLNESS. SHE DEDICATED 60 YEARS OF HER LIFE TO THE MENTALLY ILL. IN 1999, GOVERNOR CECIL UNDERWOOD NAMED THE HUNTINGTON STATE HOSPITAL "THE MILDRED MITCHELL BATEMENT HOSPITAL" IN HER HONOR. TODAY, HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY REMEMBERED DOCTOR BATEMAN FOR HER DEDICATION TO HER PATIENTS... AND HER LOVE FOR OTHERS. "Life is hard sometimes. But if you can just remember that you can go forth, go around, go through, whatever it takes to make it. That's what I want for people to remember about mother because that's certainly what she did." "She loved everybody. I mean those patients were not patients to her they were family." DR. BATEMAN WAS ALSO NOMINATED AS A LOCAL LEGEND BY REPRESENTATIVE SHELLEY MOORE CAPITO.
