The EEOC's Detroit district office sued Sears, Roebuck, and Company on March 29, 2002 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The EEOC's complaint alleged that the defendant violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when it discriminated based on a disability by failing to reasonably accommodate the complainant for his disability and creating a hostile work environment for the complainant because of his disability. The parties entered into a settlement agreement on April 2, 2002, which stipulated that the defendant would pay the complainant $5,000 in damages, post a notice of compliance with the ADA, and provide ADA reasonable accommodation training to its managers, supervisors, and select employees at the specified location.
