Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 That really stinks.AND....I don't think what they did was totally legal. The ADA requires employers with 15 or more workers to provide reasonable accommodations for qualified job applicants and employees with known disabilities. It is also unlawful to retaliate against an individual for opposing employment practices that discriminate based on disability or for filing a discrimination charge, testifying, or participating in any way in an investigation, proceeding, or litigation under the ADA. http://www.eeoc.gov/types/ada.html You may want to check this out: The American Alliance for People with Disabilities (www.disabilityrx.org) offers a few points to consider: They are headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida From: meencantador <meencantador@...> Subject: [ ] update from " Help " Date: Friday, May 22, 2009, 4:14 PM my job closed out my school year contract Don't know if that is legit or not asthma is kicking in because I am getting upset I need to catch a break, I am tired of all this.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Just a note to say " Thank you for giving this young lady some good advice. " I knew someone would know what to tell her. Now, meencantador...I have been praying for you, that you would be able to get some of the help you needed. Also look for a lawyer that might take on your case for little or nothing. Is there a teacher's union there, or a teacher's organization that might offer you some help legally? Hope you get some additional help and soon!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Thanks Adah! I had another thought. What about talking to someone from the ACLU. Their entire existance is to help protect the rights of EVERY American....right?
