1Opinion of the Court
EUGENE A. WRIGHT, Senior Circuit Judge.
In this protracted employment discrimination dispute, we must decide if laches bars Jeffries’ action against the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA).
FACTS
In August 1974, Jeffries applied for a train conductor position with the CTA. He was rejected on November 4 of that year because a medical examination revealed that he suffered from sickle cell anemia, a blood disorder which has a disproportionate impact upon black persons. The disease disqualified him for any operating position. He was approved for non-operating work but did not pass a required exam.
