The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed a federal lawsuit against FedEx, alleging the company discriminated against blind employees by failing to provide reasonable accommodations at its Kernersville, North Carolina facility. The lawsuit claims this denial prevented these workers from performing essential job functions and enjoying equal employment privileges, violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. The EEOC also alleges FedEx failed to maintain required administrative records. FedEx is reviewing the matter and states its commitment to ADA compliance and a discrimination-free workplace. The case highlights ongoing enforcement of disability rights in the workplace.
