WHAT IS THIS CASE ABOUT?

Previously, the Administrative Judge and EEOC ruled that this case could proceed as a class action, finding:

The Agency’s 2013 and 2018 Temporary Light Duty Directives were applicable to all Agency employees.
The Agency did not conduct any training on the Temporary Light Duty Directive for managers, supervisors, or employees.
Sworn testimony was provided from pregnant employees in 11 of the 20 field offices. Approximately 80% of all Temporary Light Duty placements of pregnant employees were made from these 11 field offices.
There is sufficient evidence to warrant the class certification ruling that the Temporary Light Duty policy distinguishes pregnancy from other short-term impairments.
There is sufficient evidence to warrant class certification that the Agency involuntarily placed women on Temporary Light Duty because they were pregnant without regard to whether they could continue to perform the essential duties of their position of record.
Pregnant workers placed on Temporary Light Duty may have lost opportunities for overtime pay, training, and the use of a firearm.
