CASE NO.: 2000-CAA-00018
In the Matter of
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF LABOR FOR
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH Prosecuting Party
and
ANTHONY MEDEIROS Complainant
v.
TRANS-LEASE GROUP Respondent
RECOMMENDED DECISION AND ORDER APPROVING
SETTLEMENT AND DISMISSING COMPLAINT
This proceeding arises under the employee protection provisions of section
405 of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 ("STAA"), 49 U.S.C.
§31105, and the implementing regulations at 29 C.F.R. Part 1978. On December 21, 2000,
the Complainant, Anthony Medeiros, the Respondent, Trans-Lease Group, and the Prosecuting
Party submitted the attached settlement agreement and a joint motion to approve settlement
agreement.
Upon review, I find that the settlement appears to be fair, adequate,
reasonable, and voluntarily entered into by the parties who are represented by counsel.
Accordingly, the settlement agreement is approved pursuant to 29 C.F.R. §1978.111(d)(2),
and the complaint filed in this matter is dismissed.
