Status Update – Status Conference

In a relatively short status conference this afternoon, the EEOC Administrative Judge let everyone know that the process is slowly moving forward one step at a time. She set a deadline of March 31, 2020 to submit any and all supplemental documentation regarding claims. Therefore, if you have not already provided us with a Disability Form (“Supplemental Declaration Regarding Disability”), you must provide that form to us right away so that it can be filed by March 31. If you need another copy of the Disability Form to complete, please contact us at 585-272-0540. (If you have already completed that form and submitted it to us, there is no other action needed by you at this time.)

The Judge stated that she is in the process of organizing all of the claim records, and that she hopes to begin reviewing the substance of those claims later this Spring. She emphasized, as she has previously, that the process may take some time, due to the very large number of claims. She also stated that she will continue speaking to the lawyers during the next few months about the possibility of settlement. However, please keep in mind that the Postal Service has not yet made a settlement offer to resolve any of the claims in this case.

Again, if you have not yet provided us with a Disability Form (“Supplemental Declaration Regarding Disability”), you must provide that form to us right away so that it can be filed with the Judge by March 31.
