UPS Settles Disability Discrimination Lawsuit for $2M
To settle a disability discrimination lawsuit, UPS has “agreed to pay a total of $2 million to nearly 90 current and former employees” across the country. The lawsuit was first filed on behalf of the employees by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) back in 2009, and alleged UPS had “violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when it failed to provide employees with reasonable accommodations and maintained an ‘inflexible’ leave policy that automatically fired employees when they reached 12 months of leave, without an interactive process.”
