Status Update – IMPORTANT UPDATE – EEOC ISSUES CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER

On February 27, 2019, the EEOC Administrative Judge issued a Case Management Order. The Order does not accept the plan proposed by Class Counsel. The Order sets out that Class Members who did not retain Class Counsel are not represented by our law firms. The Order also states that the process to be used is that the Postal Service is to submit their legal brief and evidence by March 19, 2019; and that Class Member claimants are to submit their response briefs and evidence 20 days after that (although the Order notes that extensions to the deadlines may be permitted).

For those Class Members who have designated Class Counsel as their representatives during the relief process, we will be sending you a form to be completed and returned to be used to support your claim. We will provide you with written instructions on what to include to support your claim. Our law firms will compile that information and evidence along with other evidence that we already have in our possession, and submit a legal brief in support of your claim by the deadline ultimately set by the Administrative Judge.

We encourage every Class Member claimant to fully participate in this stage of the case, so that you can maximize the relief available to you. In the near future, we will address frequently asked questions regarding the form and evidence on this website.
