Weekes v. Educational Testing Service: Disability Discrimination Case
This case involved a disability discrimination lawsuit filed against Educational Testing Service (ETS), the company that creates standardized tests like the SAT and GRE. An employee named Weekes claimed that ETS violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by discriminating against them because of a disability. The specific details of what happened at work or what type of disability was involved are not available from the court records provided.
Unfortunately, the final outcome of this case is not known from the available information. The case was filed in federal court in New York in February 2022, but whether it was settled, dismissed, or went to trial is unclear.
What This Means for Workers:
This case serves as a reminder that employees have legal protections against disability discrimination in the workplace. The ADA requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for workers with disabilities and prohibits discrimination based on disability status. If you believe you've faced disability discrimination, you have the right to file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or pursue legal action in federal court.
