[blindlaw] Everyone Needs $3500

[Russell J. Thomas]

Sue!

Where did this happen -- what city and state?

Perhaps there is an attorney in that community who would be willing to help.
If not, contact me off list at emplmntattorney at gmail.com, 949.752.0101 and I
will try to help you find someone.

a question for anyone that can help.  I went in to dial America to interview
for a job as a sales rep in a call center after applying.  I walked in and a
lady fredrica greated me at the door stating I have a dog and she is scared
of dogs and for someone else to help me.  So next a anita walked up and took
me in to her office for the interview.
However she did not do an interview she asked me why I did not put on my
application that I was blind.  I stated it did not ask me if I was blind.
She then asked me if I knew I was applying for a call center job.  I replied
yes I have 12 years experience in a call center setting and was fully aware
of the job I had applied for.  She then took about 30 minutes providing
every reason she did not think a accomidation could be made and I explained
as to how it could be done.
She never did an interview.  I then stood up and thanked her for her time
and walked out.  I called her manager Curtis the next day and explained
everything to him.  He said he would need to talk to corp hr about
everything and get back to me as to if a reasonable accomidation could be
made.  2 weeks later he called me and stated they had another rep in the
past that was a jaws user and it had been done before in the past and that
they would need to get jaws set up on their system and after that is done
they would call me in for an interview at that point.  I asked him how long
that would take and he replied it may take 6 months however he could not
give me a time frame.  I feel I was discriminated against and want to file a
law suit any help on how to do so?  Timothy Blanchett  423-441-0982
