EEOC files disability discrimination suit against FedEx

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued FedEx Corp. for disability discrimination against four blind package handlers at its Kernersville facility, alleging the company failed to provide reasonable accommodations like tactile floor markers and screen reader software, violating the Americans with Disabilities Act. The EEOC claims FedEx ignored requests for accommodations since 2021 and only partially implemented some solutions after an agency investigation in 2024.
