AUSTIN (KXAN) — A Travis County employee filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) last month claiming he was demoted -- and threatened with termination -- after taking medical leave to treat stage 4 cancer.
Joseph Lee Perry's complaint says he worked in the county's Purchasing Department for almost 20 years and hasn't had documented performance issues in all that time.
The complaint says in February 2021, Perry was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer.
