March 2009: Attig Law Firm secures finding of disability discrimination and constructive suspension by Dept of Homeland Security (ICE) - (MSPB: San Francisco) |
|
March 2009 - A client of the Firm prevailed in her Constructive Suspension Appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). The MSPB also issued a rare finding of disability discrimination. The Department of Homeland Security was found to have constructively suspended our client from February 2005 to the present when it placed her on LWOP, involuntarily. Because our client was ready, willing, and able to work in her position, and because the Agency discontinued an effective and reasonable accommodation to place our client in LWOP, the MSPB issued a decision finding that DHS committed disability discrimination when it constructively suspended our client.
