EEOC Decision Issued In Response To Postal Service’s Appeal

On September 25, 2017, the EEOC issued its initial decision in response to the Postal Service’s appeal of the Administrative Law Judge’s favorable decision, finding that the NRP discriminated against the Class as a whole. You can see the entire decision by clicking here.

The EEOC decision is not final as of the posting of this information. The Postal Service has already announced that it will seek to have the EEOC reconsider its decision in the case. Once a request for reconsideration is filed, a decision is not final until the EEOC issues a new decision in the case.

Class Members do not need to take any action at this time (October 2017). If the EEOC confirms its decision and a final order is issued that permits Class Members to seek individual monetary and non-monetary relief, a written notice will be sent out to all Class Members. In addition, we will update the information on this website to keep Class Members posted on status updates and any deadlines that might apply to claims for relief. We cannot comment on possible relief available to Class Members until a final order is issued by the EEOC.
