This ruling resolves a single-plaintiff employment case with no disclosed financial exposure — no material read-through for UPS. Monitor for any appeal filing, but the legal reasoning is well-supported and unlikely to be reversed.

Executive Summary
UPS won summary judgment in a pregnancy discrimination and FMLA interference lawsuit. The court found that UPS terminated the plaintiff for insubordination (taking unauthorized leave during a holiday blackout period) and that the termination decision was made before the company learned of her pregnancy. The ruling removes a material litigation risk for UPS, but the case was a routine individual employment dispute with no disclosed financial exposure.
