A nine-member federal jury thought even more of a discrimination case against the N.J.-based Pathmark Food Store chain than federal law allows. Former Pathmark meat-cutter Joseph Mondzelewski proved to a jury's satisfaction that Pathmark had discriminated against him once he returned to work from a back injury. The jury also found Pathmark had retaliated against Mondzelewski when he filed a workers' compensation claim. The jury awarded him $3.85 million, but federal law limits such damages to $300,000.
