It is understandable if someone has a disability and should not be discriminated at work, however if they were hired to do a job and for whatever reason, they no longer can perform that job after an extended period of time, what is the company to do if the person they hired can no longer perform that job?  Is the company supposed to pay that worker a full time salary to sit and do nothing while the job does not get done?   Think there are two sides to this story and agree with WN that judgement should be reserved until this is played out in court.  Don't want to make the comparison and will not at this point, but just sayin' was in the news how bulky pickup garbage workers game the system so that many call in sick in possibly a coordinated way that allows those that work to make lots of extra overtime pay, piles of bulky garbage left out in public & never picked up which puts pressure to hire more union garbage workers when there already should be more than enough to perform the job.
