GAF Materials Corporation, a roofing materials manufacturer headquartered in Wayne, N.J., unlawfully terminated a disabled worker from its Savannah facility when it refused to allow him to exercise his seniority rights to "bump" junior employees, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission charged in a lawsuit filed recently. According to the EEOC's lawsuit, GAF's contract with the United Steelworkers Union included a provision that allowed senior employees to remain employed by "bumping" less senior employees in any layoff situation.
