Re: Toys {backR} Us discriminates against disabled people in hiring |
Their Web site for applying for employment is inaccessible to
low-income disabled people who are most in need of jobs.
Is there any lawyer in the audience who will help me sue them?

Look in your particular state's discrimination laws. Every State has a set.
Try looking within the dept of labor first.
Once you know the specifics of your local state law contact the ACLU in your
state.
First make a criminal complaint at the local or state level state's
attorney. Do this first and timely. In this state the time limit for filing
a discrimination complaint is 180 days. A civil case on the federal level
can take two years before the filing deadline is reached.
In most cases the supporting eveidence of a State level legal case
stipulating the act of a Class A Misdomeanor has accured and adjudicated is
good supporting eveidence for the federal legal pleading.
If you are going to be seeking damages the suit them twice, if ya can.
But remember, there are consequences for making false claims and pursuing
losing legal battles. Not saying you are doing any of the last, mind you.

Yea, lets clog up the courts some more ***** lawsuits. Maybe we
should sue because they don't have pictograms for people that are
illiterate... Hey what about suing them becasue they are forcing you
to apply to get a job? How about syuing them because they would want
you to work after they hired you...
The ACLU will sue for any reason at all except if you are a white
heterosexual middle class male in America... Then they just fucking
you. (And probably sue you if it didn't feel good)
There... I feel better now... (so sue me)

Assuming we're talking about the US, the federal Americans with

Every state including the Distric of Columbia and the US teritories have
enacted legislation due to the Federal ADA laws.
The federal ADA laws are what the federal lawsuit (ACLU) will be geared
towards.
But it's best to start at the local level (state level) decision to document
the case. IOW use those state enacted laws to bolster the federal issue.

You can also apply at the store itself. I know this because there is a
TRU down the street and they have one of those street side signs
asking people to apply on-line or in the store.
In addition, why would YOU sue them? You are HERE..on line..so YOU
HAVE ACCESS to a computer...and instead of spamming a news group,
perhaps you should have spent the time APPLYING for the job

Hmmmm, I think you will find your caps key is useless for those of us
who don't use a monitor, (I think you might also not have a clue of
what the OP is talking about).
Well regarding the access issue anyway. While it is true to say that
he / she might have access to a computer, they are most likeley
accessing the web and other items with some kind of alternative
device, such as a Screen Reader or Magnification program. Google them,
you'll get a lot of hits on both.
I use a ScreenReader myself, a long with Windows Magnifier.

And that would prevent you from applying for a job on the internet in
which way? You were able to access the post and thi snews group,
therefore you are able to access the directions on how to apply.
Lot's of assumptions here on him using a screen reader or whatever.
And if he had to use a screen reader, it is unlikely he would be hired
for a job working retail, as the ability to see is pretty fundemental
to the position. If he cann't see, it would be like a guy in a
wheelcahir crying discrimmination because the Chicago Cubs wont place
him on the team.
Sorry.

That doesn't follow. Robert Maas may have an older computer that only
displays text and be using the Lynx browser for example.
If so then he's quite right that their recruitment pages ought to be
accessible from Lynx.
But I don't know if he can sue them. And most employers don't care who
is most in need of a job anyway, just what kind of person they perceive
themselves to be most in need of employing.

The don't, they won't and if someone needed that much specialized

is is looking for another type of job at TRU though but in reality, I
think he is looking for someone to sue, rather than someone to work

There are access technology products and programs. Also rules that if the

If so then he's quite right that their recruitment pages ought to be

Why? Should Lear make their plains affordable to me? Should we sue
makers of big screen TVs because a vision impaired person can not see

Just because it's good web-design.

I didn't say that, but you're wrong anyway. It's socialist, but not
*****.
The poor and disabled fortunately still get to vote so it's quite
appropriate for the government they elect to force things in their
favour now and again.
The system relies on a balance between the blind hand of the market and
the blind foot of the state.

No YOU are missing the point. The rest of the world must bend over
backwards and lower our lifestyle so we can not do anything that a
disabled person can't do.
So it does not matter if 99% of the world can see it just fine. The
needs of the "few" is far more important then the needs of the many...

No, that was my point about useing all caps, aural browsers can't
tell the difference between all caps and normal wording, unless the
capital letter is at the start of a sentence obviously.

You've just explained both that you *can't* tell from your screen reader
that he was using caps, and that you *did* know he used caps because
your screen reader told you so.

I'm curious; how does it interpret caps? Louder? Deeper voice? Slower?

I'm curious - how does it read all caps? Does it assume it's an acronym
and spell it out letter-by-letter?

There are a few tricks screen readers use to inform the person about
diction.
I'm not up on all the latest screen readers, but if I remeber correctly the
NFB has an entire floor devoted to assistive technology. They often publish
product reviews for the VI populace.
Look there for your answers.
