The Department of Justice is suing Con-way Freight Inc. on behalf of a U.S. military veteran, who alleges that the company violated his rights by failing to reassign him to his former position after he recovered from a temporary service-related medical disability.
The lawsuit states that Con-way’s Rock Island, Ill., facility violated the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) by failing to promptly reassign Naval Reservist Dale Brown to his former position as a driver with appropriate seniority once he had recovered from a serious shoulder injury he sustained in a truck accident during a night mission in Iraq.
