Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 843 F.2d 1392 (6th Cir. 1988) April 7, 1988

Before ENGEL, MERRITT and KRUPANSKY, Circuit Judges.

MERRITT, Circuit Judge.


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.
