Peggy Young VS UPS
At issue in the case, Peggy Young v. United Parcel Service, is whether the company violated the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) in its treatment of Young, a delivery driver. After her paid disability period ended, Peggy requested an office job after her doctors recommended that she not drive a UPS truck. UPS said they do not offer office jobs for drivers and she was required to go on unpaid maternity leave. The law requires employers to give disabled employees “reasonable” accommodations- is it reasonable for an employer to be required to offer a disabled employee a different job if they are not able to perform the job they were hired to do? PLEASE TO LOOK UP THE CASE AND PROVIDE BOTH POINT OF VIEW; AGREE W/ UPS’s SIDE. Provide reasons as to why UPS is in the right, etc.
