A federal judge ruled a mobile phone repair and testing facility in Texas must face trial on claims by the EEOC that the company illegally failed to hire or accommodate two deaf applicants for temporary work referred by a staffing agency, Bloomberg BNA reported. The EEOC sued S&B in February 2015 alleging the company failed to hire Katelynn Baker and Tia Rice, who had been referred for employment by Staff Force, a temporary staffing agency S&B used at the time to fill certain work assignments.
