Discrimination in the Workplace!
February 8, 2008
Many people with diabetes and other chronic diseases are no longer protected against discrimination from their employers.
Employers have been saying a person with diabetes is “too disabled” to do the job, but not “disabled enough” to be protected by the laws. The stakes are huge: If a person with diabetes isn’t covered by anti-disability discrimination law then it’s perfectly legal to fire or refuse to hire that person explicitly because of his or her diabetes.
