An administrative law judge has approved the settlement of a class-action lawsuit accusing the U.S. Postal Service of discriminating against injured employees - a deal that will cost the government millions of dollars, according to attorneys. An estimated 25,000 postal employees who have been hurt on the job and reassigned since 1992 are eligible to apply for part of the settlement. It offers $25,000 each to employees who can show they were discriminated against because of their rehabilitation status.
