--
FedEx Corp. (FDX) must pay $108,000 in damages after a federal jury found in favor of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in an employment discrimination suit against the package delivery giant, the EEOC said.
The commission had charged FedEx with violating the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, in alleging the Memphis company failed to provide a "reasonable accommodation" to Ronald Lockhart, a deaf employee who worked as a package handler in Baltimore.
The suit was filed in District Court for the Northern District of Maryland in September 2004.
A representative for FedEx wasn't immediately able to comment on the court's ruling.
