Current Status of the Case
October 18, 2024 – Status Update
Today, we received an EEOC Order extending the postponement of all hearings and pre-hearing conferences.
We understand based on EEOC orders to date on the postponement, that during this time, the EEOC is reviewing issues raised by the parties during this hearing process. The issues being considered by the EEOC would directly impact every single hearing. Amongst those issues, include whether the USPS can bring in new documents and witnesses in order to oppose each claimant’s claim. We have made repeated verbal and written arguments strongly opposing the Postal Service’s requests. We also understand the EEOC is working on preparing a comprehensive general prehearing order that would address that issue and many others.
We understand this has been a long and frustrating process, but we continue to hope that this delay will ensure that the hearing process is able to efficiently handle all disputes. By working through these issues now, we believe that once the hearings begin, the EEOC can move quicker and smoother – swiftly handling any disputes. Based on the Order, we understand all hearings are postponed until we hear from the respective judges.
As soon as we have an update, we will post it on www.nrpclassaction.com. Please continue to check the website for updates in the coming weeks.
