In an employment discrimination action brought against the City of Chicago by a former member of the United States Air Force, district court’s judgment is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff’s claim under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) of 1994 was barred by the four-year statute of limitations provided by 28 U.S.C. section 1658(a); and 2) the Veterans’ Benefits Improvement Act’s amendment expressly stating that statute of limitations does not apply to USERRA, has no retroactive effect.
