About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)

The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

General Dynamics

Campbell v. General Dynamics Government Systems Corporation (Illegal Employee Termination)

Date: 10/19/2005 (Date of Dismissal)

Misconduct Type: Labor

Enforcement Agency: Non-Governmental

Contracting Party: None

Court Type: Civil

Amount: Undisclosed

Disposition: Settlement

Synopsis: Campbell alleged he was fired due to a condition covered by the Americans With Disabilities Act. “On December 30, 2002, General Dynamics terminated the plaintiff's employment on account of persistent absenteeism and tardiness. Alleging that these infractions (and, hence, his dismissal) stemmed from a medical condition known as sleep apnea that General Dynamics should have accommodated, the plaintiff filed an administrative complaint with the proper agency charging discrimination on the basis of disability.” In October 2005, both parties resolved the case pursuant to an undisclosed settlement.
