[QUOTE="Article 3, post: 3240995"] I'm not coming on here to split hairs with you so take this info for what it's worth: We went thru the process of ADA accommodation for a deaf employee to drive. Regardless of what BUG posted it isn't relative to the situation we had because this was not about non handicapped employees it was about an ADA accommodation for a deaf employee to drive off the company property. As long as the company owned a vehicle that the employee could legally drive they had...by law...to allow them to drive. HR acknowledged this as well. No lie. Unfortunate for the employee they got rid of the minivan (labeled the Misload mover by the drivers) prior to the seniority of the employee allowing them to bid a driving job. Disallowing or refusing to accommodate a handicapped employee when they have the ability to accommodate opens them up for lawsuits and is not an issue the company will want to become public. Note: the pregnancy debacle. Do I personally think it's not a challenging and hard issue for all involved? It is a head scratcher for sure but i am only responsible for the facts and how they are applied. My feelings are not a factor in the outcome. You are a great Teamster and steward (I presume). No one has all the answers here and we can always learn from honest posters so I say Thanks for your input. Have a great weekend. [/QUOTE]
