[Blind-rollers] doors

[Rob Kaiser]

I have another question regarding doors & other things: I just started using 
a wheelchair. I would like to go back to my job @ Verizon Wireless. The call 
site has doorways that are not quite accessible & not quite big enough for 
my chair as I need to use a wide body chair.

How far can I ask a employer to go to ask for reasonable accommodations?

Please either email me through the list, off list or, call me at the numbers 
below.
