Wabash National Corp., a nationwide manufacturer of semi-trailers and commercial trucking equipment headquartered in Lafayette, Indiana, has agreed to pay $50,000 and provide substantial non-monetary relief to resolve a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
The federal agency’s legal action addressed workplace practices concerning pregnant employees within the commercial manufacturing sector. Under the terms of the resolution, the Indiana-based equipment producer will implement targeted adjustments to internal policies, supervisor training protocols, and compliance monitoring to ensure adherence to federal employment regulations.
Legal representatives for the federal agency noted that the comprehensive relief package aims to safeguard workers from discriminatory treatment related to pregnancy and medical accommodations. Wabash National has committed to fulfilling the mandated terms to conclude the litigation and reinforce workplace standards across its operational facilities.
