Judge Certifies Nationwide Employee Class Action On Behalf Of Targeted Disabled Employees Against The Social Security Administration

Advocates for disabled employees of the Social Security Administration ("SSA") have secured a groundbreaking victory in a class action proceeding before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The action alleges that SSA discriminates against employees with targeted disabilities by creating a glass ceiling and limiting promotional and other career advancement opportunities. Yesterday, the Administrative Law Judge hearing the case granted the employees' motion for class certification. The ruling ensures that the employees' claims for injunctive relief and damages can proceed as class claims. Attorneys for the class estimate that the lawsuit will cover approximately 2,000 current and past employees.

The class is represented by a consortium of law firms that includes Berger & Montague, P.C., Brown Levy & Goldstein LLP, Schneider Wallace Cottrell Brayton Konecky LLP, and Disability Rights Advocates.    >> more
