A federal agency has sued United Parcel Service, accusing it of violating federal law by limiting workers’ ability to take medical leave. In a lawsuit filed Thursday in a federal court in Chicago, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said U.P.S. had since at least 2002 had an “inflexible” 12-month leave policy that did not provide for “reasonable accommodation” for disabled employees and instead called for their termination. The agency accused UPS of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act and federal civil rights law.
