The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit held that a diabetic forklift driver transferred from her position had no claim under the American with Disabilities Act. Mohr v. Hoover Co., 2004 WL 1098748, (6th Cir. May 14, 2004).
Plaintiff Lucille Mohr, who suffered from Type II diabetes, operated a forklift at least 25 feet in the air in order to retrieve medical supplies. In a review of medical records, the company medical director learned that Mohr suffered from the disease. After meeting with Ms. Mohr's personal physician, the medical director imposed an employment restriction barring use of the fork truck. Although Ms. Mohr submitted a letter from her personal physician attesting to her fitness for the job, the medical director did not change his position. Instead, Mohr was allowed to bid on other jobs, though she claimed a net loss of $25,000 given the new jobs had no overtime.
