Feds to Trucking Company: You Cannot Fire Alcoholic Drivers
Excerpt: The federal government has sued a major trucking company for its refusal to hire as drivers individuals with admitted alcohol abuse problems. Alcoholism is classified as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the suit maintains, and therefore employees cannot be prohibited even from driving 18 wheelers due to their histories of abuse. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which filed the suit against the Old Dominion Freight Line trucking company on August 16, noted that while “an employer’s concern regarding safety on our highways is a legitimate issue, an employer can both ensure safety and comply with the ADA.” (Two Thoughts:--By and large, this trucking company is openly religious and Christian.--What I have said before: Where Government and Trial Lawyers want you--Damned if you do, Damned if you don't. –DH. Not to wish anyone ill, but one would feel a certain sense of irony if one of the fed bureaucrats was killed by a drunk driving one of these trucks. Unfortunately, it’s more likely to be your kid. ~Bob.)
