UPS Must Let Deaf Employees Be Drivers, Says Judge
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 21, 2004 --A judge has ruled that delivery giant United Parcel Service has discriminated against its deaf and hearing-impaired workers by refusing to let them drive delivery trucks. This week's ruling comes in a class action suit filed against UPS under the Americans with Disabilities Act by Disability Rights Advocates, a legal services firm from Oakland, CA. The decision could affect as many as 1,000 UPS employees.
