OPINION
HELENE N. WHITE, Circuit Judge.
Teresa Watts appeals the dismissal of her Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) claim against her employer United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS). The court granted UPS judgment as a matter of law on the grounds that Watts’s claim was preempted by § 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act (LMRA), and was untimely under the six-month statute of limitations. Because § 301 does not preempt a claim brought in federal court under the ADA, we REVERSE and REMAND for a new trial on Watts’s ADA claim.

Teresa Watts began working for UPS in 1990 at its Hamilton, Ohio…
