As reported by Scott Daugherty of the Virginia Pilot, after Matthew Sturgill was offered a job as a conductor at Norfolk Southern earlier this year, an executive at Norfolk Southern reviewed the results of Sturgill’s physical exam and Norfolk Southern then withdrew the job offer, telling Sturgill that his body mass index was too high.
Sturgill has retained Nick Thompson of The Moody Law Firm in Portsmouth Virginia to sue for discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act. You can read the article on Pilotonline.com by following this link: Man Sues Railroad Over Rescinded Job Offer.
