13 (93%)
Summary judgment
1 (7%)

Of the 1 summary-judgment rulings, 1 ended the case in U.S. Postal Service’s favor and 0 let the worker’s claims continue.

What do these stages mean?
Appeal
A higher court reviewing an earlier decision. Many published opinions come from this stage, after a lot has already happened in the case.
Summary judgment
A ruling where the judge decides the case — or part of it — without a trial, because one side argues the key facts are not in dispute. For workers, getting past this step is often the biggest hurdle.

Published federal-court opinions only — most workplace disputes are resolved privately. This is not anyone’s odds, and not a finding that any employer violated the law.
