[blindLaw] Discrimination in the Workplace?

[Thomas Dukeman]

Hello all,

I recently attended the 2023 National NFB conference in Texas and it was from attending some of the workshops related to answering the question of when/if one should being up their vision situation in the spirit of transparency and that some less scrupulous employers might try to bring it before we do and get away with violating the ADA. That got me thinking then, are there instances where our vision has been used against us in some way? I am still pretty new to the NFB and don’t really know much about that kind of thing if at all, is made an issue for us to come together against or if that is something in the past? I know a lot of places SAY they are an equal employment opportunity employer, but are they really, at least for us? I thought to ask here because I feel like if anyone would know about legal issues impacting the blind, it would be you guys.

Thanks for your time and input,
Thomas Dukeman
