Federal Court Rules in Favor of EEOC in Disability Discrimination Charge against Amsted Rail

Milwaukee Area Employment Law Attorney: 200 South Executive Drive, Suite 101 Brookfield, WI 53005 Phone: 262-241-8444

A federal judge ruled in favor of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Nov. 16 in its discrimination charge against Amsted Rail Co., Inc., the federal agency announced today. The judge ruled that Amsted, a leading manufacturer of steel castings for the rail industry, violated federal disability law when it disqualified job applicants based on the results of a nerve conduction test for carpal tunnel syndrome rather than conducting an individualized assessment of each applicant’s ability to do the job safely.
