Railroad spokesman Richard Russack said the No. 2 U.S. railroad, based in Fort Worth, Texas, wouldn't require the tests, which it suspended two months ago, and wouldn't discipline workers who had declined to take them. The EEOC sued the railroad Feb. 9 after workers complained the railroad didn't tell them that blood samples they'd given would be used for genetic tests. The railroad dropped the practice after the EEOC filed the suit, but at least 20 workers already had been tested. The EEOC claimed the tests were meant to predict whether a worker would suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome. All rights reserved.
