The Employment Discrimination Provisions Of The Americans With Disabilities Act: Implementation And Impact, Scott Burris, Kathryn Moss

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of disability. Since its passage in 1990, debate has raged about whether the statute is doing any good. A steady stream of narrowing court decisions has led some to declare the law a failure. This article reviews the empirical evidence on the effectiveness of Title I. Many studies find a decline in employment rates among the disabled in the wake of the ADA, but the evidence that these declines were caused by the ADA is weak. Title I protects people who require no more than a …

Facially Neutral No-Rehires Rules And The Americans With Disabilities Act, Christine Neylon O'Brien

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

This article deals with the issue of whether alcoholism should qualify as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Under this theoretical category, an employee or potential employee would have a cause of action once he shows his disability no longer interferes with his ability to perform his job. One example of a prospective plaintiff is a recovering alcoholic. The author addresses the difference between a disparate impact claim and a disparate treatment claim and asserts what employers should do to ensure they do not run afoul of the ADA.

The United States Supreme Court Resolves The Effect Of Disability Benefit Claims Upon Americans With Disabilities Act Complaints In Cleveland V. Policy Management Systems Corporation, Christine Neylon O'Brien

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

Federal courts have grappled with the issue of whether claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act should be barred, or judicially estopped, by the plaintiff's earlier application for or receipt of disability benefits. This is a particularly vexing problem since recipients of disability benefits are presumed to be disabled even though they are not disabled for a particular job. These individuals, who are social security recipients and still, are qualified for a job yet they suffer adverse employment decisions in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This article clarifies the law based on the Supreme Court decision, Cleveland v. …
