Jackson Heights, NY–Honorable men and women who became disabled through service to our country deserve our support to restore their livelihoods.
Many gave up good jobs to serve this nation, and now they are being discriminated against when they try to re-enter the work force, because they have a disability.
A number of recent court cases have enabled employers to say that a person is too disabled to do the job, but not disabled enough to be protected by the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Disabled veterans and other Americans with disabilities are caught in this ridiculous “Catch-22†bind.
VetsFirst, a program of United Spinal Association, believes that every disabled veteran has the right to work.
You can help too, by taking decisive action now. Twenty-one veterans and military groups, and more than 100 disability organizations are in full support of the passage of the ADA Restoration Act. In the coming weeks, we anticipate that the House of Representatives will vote on the ADA Restoration Act, after which the bill will go to the Senate.
