A man who says he was fired by Caterpillar Inc. because he wasn’t able to urinate for a drug test sued the equipment giant, alleging discrimination.
The plaintiff said Wednesday he suffers from paruresis, more commonly known as shy bladder syndrome, and was physically unable to urinate into a specimen cup, despite having drunk 40 ounces (1.2 liters) of water and being given three hours to complete the task.
