-Have there been any such lawsuits so far -- prior to the Supreme
-dictators' ruling?

There have been none that I know of in the ADA context but union have been
held accountable for lack of aggressiveness in pursuing Title VII
discrimination grievances. Since the ADA procedural rules have generally
followed Title VII, such an ADA strategy is very likely to be pursued.

We will see how it develops -- NN
