Formaldehyde firing results in big payoff for salon employee
A salon manager who was fired after warning her colleagues about an occupational health hazard will get $165,000 from the salon, in a settlement with the U.S. Labor Dept.
News sources say Valerie Connolly, who’d worked at Salon Zoe for seven years, was terminated in June of 2012 after informing salon workers about the potential dangers of Magic Keratina, a product used in the salon. Magic Keratina contains formaldehyde.
