Document Summary

Facts: plai(cid:374)tiff (cid:894) (cid:895) - polkey; supervisor of the mailroom, defe(cid:374)da(cid:374)t (cid:894) (cid:895) - transtecs, polkey was the supervisor of five employees in the mailroom at the pensacola naval air. The mailroom was run by transtecs, a company hired by the government to provide mail service. Polkey discovered that some mail had been tampered with in the mailroom. Transtecs asked all six mailroom employees to take a lie detector test. It was given first to the employee they most suspected. His lie detector test indicated he might have been the one. Transtecs then wanted to test the other employees, but they all refused. Transtecs then fired polkey, claiming she violated a company policy not related to the lie detector test. Transtecs appealed: procedure, plaintiff sues defendant under eppa in the us district court. Issue: whether defendant violates eppa, holding, transtecs violated the eppa by requesting or even suggesting that employees take the polygraph test.
