Disability Discrimination in the
Workplace
With the protection of the ADA, a worker who, despite a disability, is able to
perform the essential functions of his job, is entitled to reasonable
accommodation from the employer, if needed. If you feel that you have been a
victim of disability discrimination, it is important that you know your legal
rights, and the actions you must take to prevent loss of your right to a remedy.
