Wheelchair logo the text says employment discrimination Living With Disabilities Advocacy Website

  First, welcome to the Living With Disabilities Advocacy Website. It's run by none other than Katrina Smith, who's a person with a learning disability. Her mission behind Living With Disabilities is to bring awareness to all people with disabilities.

  Today, Living With Disabilities wants to talk about Employment discrimination. 

  By a show of hands, how many of you have watched the Netflix documentary "Crip Camp"? If you have not watched it, Living With Disabilities will break down the most important aspects of this documentary. So, you can check it out for yourself.

   In the early 1970s, a group of teenagers with different disabilities experienced a future of formed isolation, judgment, and harmonization.

  It's time to load your backpack and stand outdoors waiting for the bus because it's time to get schooled through the Crip Camp syllabus.

  This group of teenagers addressed power and disability rights, power and civil rights, ableism language and power, political privilege and power. They began standing for what is right, and some have listened while others are still slacking. And that is why this article is being done today.

The cracks in the employment system need to be looked at for people with disabilities. If you are a hiring manager and a person comes into your workspace for a job, note that the potential employee will fill every part of your application. UHM! The three little boxes asking if they are a disabled Veteran... 

 You are asking a very personal question here, and it is up to the potential employee whether they want to disclose that information on the resume. Generally, if they have a hidden disability because a hidden disability can not be seen. And normally, hidden disabilities, come with more issues. The same goes for physical disabilities too. But, generally, most of a person who is physically disabled is noticeable. This is a clear red flag if you're a hiring manager and won't hire a person because they're disabled.

 They check the box that applies to their situation. Wait two to three business days for a reply back. There is no callback. So, in their mind, they call to see their status, and that's when the news is given or they're told to keep calling. Including a phone interview and being turned down from that. Both scenarios are true events; Katrina actually dealt with these.

There is something really wrong when it comes to trying to apply for a job. It's either the business itself or the people who are in charge of hiring people to work for them.

The Ada extends equivalent employment opportunities to fully include people with disabilities. Because this work to carry out the American Disability Act. The department of justice is decomposition obstacles to employment for people with disabilities. As stated by  United States Department of Justice civil rights division (ADA.gov)

 People with disabilities should be treated fairly, as all jobs should follow the ADA law. And quite frankly some businesses will not hire because of a person with a disability. Is this right?  of course not.

.

  1. Gather evidence of an offense.
  2. Contact the company or the person that wronged you.

Instead of writing to the US Attorney General, you should write to your state's Attorney General.
