Complaint Of Discrimination Based On Disability

A petition filed by Stanislaus County requesting a review of Deputy Dennis Wallace’s disability discrimination case was declined. Deputy Wallace was seeking $468,000 after the county placed him on unpaid leave for two years post-injury. Wallace claims that the county placed him on leave due to an inaccurate assessment of his ability to perform his duties as bailiff (even with reasonable accommodation provided). In a 2012 trial the case ended with a hung jury. The deputy lost the discrimination case after a jury heard it in 2013, but the state appeals court overturned the jury verdict in February.

This past summer I had the chance to intern at Washington D.C.’s Office of Disability Rights in Judiciary Square, where a small but determined group of people work tirelessly to advocate for people with disabilities from within our local government. From small issues such as debating the height of an accessible parking meter to huge issues like ending disability-based discrimination in the workplace, my coworkers fought on every front to make positive changes for District residents with disabilities. As a result, my internship became far more than a great first work experience. Rather, it opened my eyes to activism and its power within our government, and to the passion that my coworkers had for their jobs, their lifelong dedication to social

As noted in our textbook, “the employer can implement to enable the qualified person to perform essential job functions without causing undue hardship to the employer” (Bell, 2012, p. 438). The application of this question in cover under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which provision prohibits discrimination against employees with disabilities to make reasonable accommodations to allow them to work. This is how I would rewrite the question to be more acceptable and not create a conflict of discrimination: what are some of your disabilities that we may be able to accommodate in order to fulfill your duties?

My first experience with discrimination I was 17 years old. I was involved in the Business Professionals of America program with my high school.
