Religious Discrimination Lawsuit Against United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS) - Settlement

EEOC and United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS) have settled a class religious discrimination lawsuit by consent decree. UPS will pay $4.9 million and provide other relief to a class of current and former applicants and employees identified by the EEOC.

Individuals who believe they may have been denied a position at UPS or otherwise discriminated against by UPS because of a religious conflict with UPS's appearance policy, which prohibits male employees in supervisory or customer contact positions, including delivery drivers, from wearing beards or growing their hair below collar length, should contact the EEOC toll-free at:

1-833-727-6581
