Lawsuit from the Equal the Employment Opportunity Commission accuses FedEx of disability discrimination
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued FedEx on Friday, accusing the package delivery giant of placing disabled transport workers on unpaid leave or firing them if they were not “100% healed.”
The commission said its investigation into FedEx stemmed from a complaint filed by a Minneapolis-based driver who claims she was fired in 2021 because she has chronic back pain. A Las Vegas-based driver who fractured her vertebrae in a work-related accident has been on unpaid leave since November 2022, according to the complaint.
“Under the ADA, employers have an obligation to explore reasonable accommodations and not to screen out qualified individuals with disabilities who can do their jobs,” Gochanour said in a statement.
