Rights case involving City of Greensburg settled by conciliation Case of George Stinson v. the City of Greensburg, KY: City of Greensburg agrees to comply with civil rights by altering some questions on employment applications following complaint by George Stinson, who alleged the City of Greensburg discriminated based on protected class of Disability in the area of employment. From Kentucky Commission on Human Rights The Kentucky Commission on Human Rights Board of Commissioners met Thursday, April 18, 2013, at Louisville headquarters to rule on discrimination complaints for the Commonwealth of Kentucky, including one in Greensburg, KY which was settled by a conciliation agreement: "George Stinson v. the City of Greensburg, KY Kentucky Commission on Human Rights Chair George Stinson alleged the City of Greensburg discriminated based on the protected class of disability in the area of employment. This would be a violation of the Kentucky Civil Rights Act and the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act. Stinson claimed the Greensburg city pre-employment questions and job descriptions had a disparate impact on persons with disabilities who might seek employment with the city. The City of Greensburg denied any violation of the law and asserted that it did not discriminate against potential employment candidates with disabilities. Before the investigation was complete, the parties chose to resolve the matter with a conciliation agreement. Greensburg agreed it does and shall comply with civil rights law and that it will not make any medical inquiries, written or oral, to candidates for employment unless and until after a conditional job offer is made to the candidate. With regard to employees or prospective employees for whom driving is not a bona fide occupational qualification, the city affirms it shall not require or ask such individuals to provide a driver's license. The city may request valid state identification. In lieu of monetary compensation, the city modified its employment application and job description practices to comply with civil rights law. The city agreed to undergo civil rights compliance training and submit to compliance monitoring by the commission for three years." This story was posted on 2013-04-21 01:14:01
