Status Update – CLASS COUNSEL SEEKS RECONSIDERATION

Class Counsel has asked the EEOC Administrative Judge to reconsider, or at least delay the effect of, the recently-issued Case Management Order until after the scheduled March 20, 2019 status conference. A copy of Class Counsel’s motion is available by clicking here.

Class Counsel has proposed a process based on a successful approach used in numerous large-scale class actions. As you know, the EEOC has already entered a strong finding of discrimination against the Class as a whole, and we want to ensure that the claims process provides every Class Member a fair and reasonable opportunity to obtain all relief to which they are entitled under law, as efficiently as possible. In addition, we have concerns with the Postal Service’s continuing efforts to break apart the Class and over-burden the EEOC. We all owe much of our success in this case to the unity, strength, and perseverance that the Class has shown in the face of unceasing attacks by the Postal Service for more than ten years.

We will provide an update as soon as further news is available. Please continue to monitor this website over the upcoming weeks for additional important information.
