How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- ruling that unions had standing to challenge employer’s sick leave policy where “the interests that the Unions [sought] to protect . . . the quality of working conditions and conditions of employment – [were] obviously germane to the Unions’ purpose”
- “Although the sick leave policy does not ‘discriminate’ in the ordinary sense of treating some people less favorably than others, Title I of the ADA defines discrimination as including ‘medical examinations and inquiries.’”
- “The Authority concedes, as it must, that it is both a ‘public entity’ within the meaning of Title II of the ADA, as well as a ‘covered entity’ within the meaning of Title I.”
