#reasonableaccommodation — Public Fediverse posts

Not typically a fan of Rabbi Ruttenberg, but this is an interesting, provocative thought-piece.

"Nobody would think twice about demanding a #reasonableaccommodation if #corporations asked #Jews to start violating #Shabbat or partaking of the #pork BBQ at the #company retreat against their own practice. And while I would not demand that every #Jew request such an #accommodation (for Shabbat or keeping #kosher), they should absolutely have that option available, even if their #religious practice is a work in progress. So too, here.

And despite seeing many people (including religious Jews!) eliding the moral and religious issues around #AI because "that train has already left the station," we should make choices based on whether they are right or wrong. Also, it's a fallacy: Movements grow from dissent."

You know, I was starting to think people could be better than this. 😤

Today I went to a post office, in a nearby town. I don’t normally do business there, so when I asked for a #ReasonableAccommodation under the #AmercansWithDisabilitiesAct, it seemed pretty much procedural that I point out I’m asking under the #ADA.

I was referred to a supervisor who in spite being given the specific law (28 CFR 36.303- Auxiliary Aids and Services), he demanded documented evidence that I am #disabled. 3x

Opinion: Surge in disabled employment as remote work gains acceptance is great news

From the article - "With the U.S. facing major worker shortages in many fields, disabled workers may continue to find jobs much easier to come by. But if enough employers demand a return to working from offices — and say this requirement meets the “reasonable accommodation” standard for disabled employees — recent gains could vanish. Here’s hoping that it’s this threat that disappears when the federal courts or Congress or both step in to say forcing such workers to stop telecommuting — in nearly all circumstances — is unfair and unacceptable."
