[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, THIS PARTICULAR JOB requires heavy lifting.  [b]But when a person is disabled, the employer must search all of its jobs to find a job that accommodates the disability [/b]-- including jobs that do not require heavy lifting, like being a receptionist, or answering the phone, or doing -- light lifting..  The employer is obviously only pretending to do so if it suspended this woman.

I repeat my advice -- your sister should contact the EEOC.[/quote]

That is not true.  PP does not know what she is talking about.  Contact the EEOC if you want, but they're going to tell you the same thing.[/quote]

PP is right - if heavy lifting is an essential function of the job, then she must e able to do it I order to keep her job.  It is not discriminatory to suspend, lay off or terminate the employment of a disabled person who is unable to perform the essential functions of a job.  And an employer is not obligated to offer another position.  I don't know where the first poster in this reply got her idea otherwise.  Hopefully she's not an attorney.[/quote]
