CALDWELL, TX – The U.S. Department of Labor has filed suit against the U.S. Postal Service for wrongful termination of an employee who fell while delivering mail and reported the work-related injury.
An investigation by the department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration found the USPS violated the whistleblower provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act by firing the worker on
Feb. 27, 2024, 10 days after the injury was reported.
The department’s suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, asks the court to hold USPS liable for illegal retaliation and require payment of back wages and damages.
