FUSCO et. al. v. AMERICAN AIRLINES
With this HIV discrimination case, Schneider Wallace Cottrell Brayton Konecky LLP successfully challenged American Airlines’ policy requiring flight attendant applicants to disclose if they were HIV positive. Plaintiff Fusco and others were rejected for employment once American learned that they had refused to disclose their HIV status.
As a result of this litigation, American Airlines agreed not to require disclosure of an applicant's medical conditions until after it has made a bona fide offer of employment.
