A complaint alleging General Motors Financial Company Inc. abridged several employee protection laws is proceeding to federal court in Miami.

Judge Ursula Ungaro of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida was assigned on Thursday to the lawsuit brought by Jose Hernandez against GM. The case, which was initially filed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court in October 2018, accuses the multinational car corporation of violating the Family Leave and Medical Leave Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.  It has now been removed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
