**Albert v. Laboratory Corporation of America - Employment Dispute** This case involved an employment dispute between a worker named Albert and Laboratory Corporation of America, a large medical testing company. The case was filed in federal court in Washington's Western District in October 2019.

However, this case serves as a reminder that workers do have legal options when they face workplace problems. Employment law covers many issues including discrimination, harassment, wage violations, wrongful termination, and unsafe working conditions.
