The issue in this case is whether a claim under the Michigan Handicappers' Civil Rights Act is preempted by the minor dispute adjudicatory scheme provided by the Railway Labor Act when a railroad engineer is terminated as disqualified from employment as an engineer by virtue of diabetes.  This is precisely the same question as decided in McCall v. Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, No. 86-1462 (March __, 1988).  Accordingly, for the reasons set out in McCall, the judgment of the District Court is affirmed.
