Case Summary

In May 2006, the EEOC district office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania brought this suit against United Parcel Service, Inc., an international parcel courier, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The complainant successfully intervened in August 2006. The complaint states that a male diagnosed with a degenerative ailment of the eyes alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act when the defendant made no attempt to accommodate him and subsequently fired him from his sorter/loader position. Specifically, the complaint states that regardless of a blemish free safety and performance record, the defendant insisted that the employee was a danger to himself and other employees when it decided to terminate the disabled employee. Shortly after a settlement conference was held in November, the parties entered into a consent decree in December 2006. The decree is currently unavailable.
