During that time, she alleged that the company discriminated against her based on her sex, pregnancy, and national origin \u2014 and that when she was let go, it was not due to the \"seasonal needs\" the company cited, but because she was pregnant. <\/p> <p> After four days of deliberation \u2014 including breaking an initial deadlock \u2014 the Napa jury ruled in Martinez's favor on the most significant charges. Jurors determined that her pregnancy was a factor in her termination, that the termination caused her real harm, and that the company retaliated against her by denying her future work after she complained that she had been fired because of her pregnancy. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-pullquote\"> <p>\"Martha's sense of justice was right.\"<\/p> <cite>\u2014 Liberation Law Group, statement to the San Francisco Chronicle after the verdict<\/cite> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-verdict-banner\"> <div class=\"llg-verdict-card\"> <div class=\"llg-verdict-card-label\">Initial Jury Verdict \u2014 March 2023<\/div> <div class=\"llg-verdict-card-amount\">$252,000<\/div> <div class=\"llg-verdict-card-note\">Awarded for pregnancy discrimination and retaliation after four days of deliberation.<\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-verdict-card retrial\"> <div class=\"llg-verdict-card-label\">New Trial Ordered \u2014 August 2023<\/div> <div class=\"llg-verdict-card-amount\">Ongoing<\/div> <div class=\"llg-verdict-card-note\">The judge found insufficient evidence that management knew of the pregnancy. The pregnancy discrimination charge continues in a new trial.<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-body\"> <p> The jury awarded Martinez damages in four categories, reflecting both the economic and human cost of what she experienced. Rancho Gordo and its owner Steve Sando contested the verdict, stating in an internal Slack message to staff that the termination was \"for seasonal needs, not discrimination,\" and that \"the emotional jury thought otherwise.\" <\/p> <p> In August 2023, a judge granted the company's motion for a new trial on the pregnancy discrimination charge, finding insufficient evidence to establish that the company's Director of Operations, Jason Lucero, knew of Martinez's pregnancy at the time of her termination. The case continued, with the central question of what management knew \u2014 and when \u2014 still pending before the court. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-status\"> <span class=\"llg-status-dot\"><\/span> <span class=\"llg-status-text\">New Trial Ordered \u2014 Pregnancy Discrimination Charge Ongoing<\/span> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-facts-label\">Initial Damages Awarded by the Jury<\/div> <div class=\"llg-damages\"> <div class=\"llg-damages-row\"> <span class=\"llg-damages-label\">Past lost wages<\/span> <span class=\"llg-damages-amount\">$15,566.40<\/span> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-damages-row\"> <span class=\"llg-damages-label\">Future medical expenses<\/span> <span class=\"llg-damages-amount\">$86,400.00<\/span> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-damages-row\"> <span class=\"llg-damages-label\">Past emotional distress<\/span> <span class=\"llg-damages-amount\">$75,000.00<\/span> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-damages-row\"> <span class=\"llg-damages-label\">Future emotional distress<\/span> <span class=\"llg-damages-amount\">$75,000.00<\/span> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-damages-row\"> <span class=\"llg-damages-label\">Total Awarded by the Jury<\/span> <span class=\"llg-damages-amount\">$251,966.40<\/span> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-facts-label\">Case Summary<\/div> <div class=\"llg-facts-grid\"> <div class=\"llg-fact-card\"> <div class=\"fact-label\">Client<\/div> <div class=\"fact-value\">Martha Martinez<\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-fact-card\"> <div class=\"fact-label\">Defendant<\/div> <div class=\"fact-value\">Rancho Gordo \u00b7 Napa, CA<\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-fact-card\"> <div class=\"fact-label\">Employment Period<\/div> <div class=\"fact-value\">Late 2019 \u2013 2020<\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-fact-card\"> <div class=\"fact-label\">Court<\/div> <div class=\"fact-value\">Napa County Superior Court<\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-fact-card\"> <div class=\"fact-label\">Jury Verdict<\/div> <div class=\"fact-value\">March 23, 2023<\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-fact-card\"> <div class=\"fact-label\">New Trial Ordered<\/div> <div class=\"fact-value\">August 2023<\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"llg-facts-label\">Causes of Action<\/div> <ul class=\"llg-claims\"> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/liberationlawgroup.com\/en\/pregnancy-discrimination-lawyer-in-san-francisco-protect-your-employment-rights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: inherit; text-decoration: none;\">Pregnancy Discrimination<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/liberationlawgroup.com\/en\/gender-discrimination-lawyer-in-san-francisco-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: inherit; text-decoration: none;\">Sex Discrimination<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/liberationlawgroup.com\/en\/racial-discrimination-lawyer-in-san-francisco-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: inherit; text-decoration: none;\">National Origin Discrimination<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/liberationlawgroup.com\/en\/workplace-retaliation-attorney-in-san-francisco-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: inherit; text-decoration: none;\">Workplace Retaliation<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/liberationlawgroup.com\/en\/wrongful-termination-lawyer-in-san-francisco-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: inherit; text-decoration: none;\">Wrongful Termination<\/a><\/li> <\/ul> <div class=\"llg-timeline-label\">Case Timeline<\/div> <div class=\"llg-timeline\"> <div class=\"llg-timeline-item\"> <div class=\"llg-timeline-date\">Late 2019 \u2013 2020<\/div> <div class=\"llg-timeline-text\">Martha Martinez works as a temporary packing employee at the Rancho Gordo warehouse in Napa.
