Case Summary

On September 28, 2006, the San Francisco district office of the EEOC brought this lawsuit against United Airlines in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The EEOC alleged that United Airlines had violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Civil Rights Act. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the defendant had refused reasonable accommodation to individuals with disabilities by disallowing them to work fewer than thirty hours per week.

On September 28, 2006, the San Francisco district office of the EEOC brought this lawsuit against United Airlines in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The EEOC alleged that United Airlines had violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Civil Rights Act. Specifically, the complaint alleged that the defendant had refused reasonable accommodation to individuals with disabilities by disallowing them to work fewer than thirty hours per week. The EEOC claimed that these actions adversely affected their status as employees due to their disabilities and sought injunctive and monetary relief as well as attorney’s fees.

On February 14, 2008, the defendant filed a motion for summary judgment, which was denied on March 21 by Judge Thomas S. Zilly. The court held that there are material issues of fact as to the fundamental job duties of the employment position at issue and what constitutes a reasonable accommodation. In addition, the court held that the defendant’s offer of a three-year unpaid leave is not a “reasonable accommodation” for a disabled claimant who did not have a temporary medical condition.

On May 29, three other employees of United Airlines filed a motion to intervene as putative class representatives, but the court denied their intervention as class representatives and granted them leave to intervene as individual plaintiffs-intervenors on July 16. Both the EEOC and proposed intervenors’ motions for reconsideration of this decision was denied on August 7, 2008.

On August 18, the proposed intervenors appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The appellate court dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction on November 6, 2008 and remanded to the district court.

Back in the district court, on June 5, 2009, the intervenors filed a complaint and motion to certify class. On July 6, 2009, the motion for class certification was stricken with prejudice as inappropriate. On February 4, 2010, more employees of United Airlines filed a second motion to intervene. On March 6, the first three intervenor plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the case and the second motion to intervene was withdrawn. On August 26, 2010, the defendant filed a sealed motion for summary judgment.

On December 17, 2010, the parties filed notice of a settlement agreement with an attached consent decree. That same day, the court approved the consent decree. The decree stipulated the following injunctive relief: 1) non-discrimination policies: United Airlines will permit reduced-hours schedules as reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities in good faith and on a case-by-case basis. The parties also agreed that working fewer than 16 hours per week (the minimum schedule for United Airline's part-time workers) would be an unreasonable accommodation and would not be allowed. 2) training: United Airlines will train all supervisors involved in administering the reasonable accommodation process with respect to the interactive accommodation process, the requirements of the consent decree, among others. The trainer would be a qualified outside consultant, approved by the EEOC and knowledgeable in the ADA. 3) record keeping and reports: United Airline will mail to counsel a report of training provided and requests for reduced hours accommodations. In addition, United Airlines will pay $600,000 as damages to the plaintiff and each party will bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees.

The consent decree was set to terminate three years from date of entry unless the EEOC asked for a continuation. The case is closed, as there are no further activity on this case's docket as of March 2019.
