Lundberg Stratton, J., Dissenting. I disagree with the majority for the reasons set out in the Dissenting opinions in Genaro v. Cent. Transport, Inc. (1999), 84 Ohio St.3d 293, 703 N.E.2d 782. I would hold that the General Assembly intended R.C. Chapter 4112 to impose liability only on employers, not on an employer's managers or supervisors. Therefore, I respectfully Dissent.
