Case: Disability Discrimination/Disparate Treatment (S.D. Ill.)

A federal district court partially denied U.S. Steel Corporation’s motion for summary judgment on discrimination and retaliation claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Illinois Human Rights Act brought by a dyslexic utility person who alleged the company imposed plantwide restrictions preventing career advancement, finding sufficient evidence that the restrictions were based on his disability diagnosis rather than legitimate job-related concerns, while granting summary judgment on failure to accommodate claims because the employee maintained he could perform all job functions without accommodation.
