Lloyd v. Swifty Transp., Inc.9 January 2009, 8:00 pm(U.S. 7th Cir., Civil Rights, Labor & Employment Law, Transportation) Truck driver's ADA claims, arguing that he was passed over for promotion to lead driver because of his prosthetic leg, are all either time-barred or fail to establish a prima facie case. Plaintiff did not show that he was qualified for the promotion, because his negative attitude had drawn complaints from other drivers. His temporary suspension was disciplinary rather than retaliatory in nature, where he had repeatedly loaded gas from the wrong supplier.
