"The notion that someone possibly performing daily activities outside of their work restrictions amounts to fraud is preposterous," Fonseca's complaint said. "Yet, even if an employee with work restrictions inadvertently violates them, this does not amount to fraud in the workplace."
Walmart, however, pushed back against the jury's verdict, arguing its actions were rightful. The retail giant said it will pursue remedies, possibly in the form of damages.
"This outrageous verdict simply does not reflect the straightforward and uncontested facts of this case," a Walmart spokesperson told Fortune in a statement.
Fonseca, who worked for the company for 14 years as a truck driver and mentored other drivers for over a decade, 'lived and breathed Walmart,' according to an X post from David deRubertis, one of Fonseca's lawyers.
