Description
JUSTICE LUND delivered the opinion of the court: This case arises from a complaint filed with the Illinois Human Rights Commission (Commission). The complaint alleged Caterpillar
discriminated against Lula Fitzpatrick on the basis of her sex, race, and physical handicap when it failed to accommodate
her request for a transfer from the third shift to the first shift. Fitzpatrick is a black female welder who suffers from
a sleeping disorder. Caterpillar denied any discrimination against Fitzpatrick and asserted her sleeping disorder is not a
physical handicap under the Illinois Human Rights Act (Act) (see 775 ILCS 5/1-103(I) (West 1992)).
