Yeah, as soon as I saw the headline, I knew this was about the ADA.
The ADA has morphed into a stupid federal catch-all to force companies into hiring or keeping employees who have no business having a job.
Case in point: I used to know a manager in CSX’s dispatch center who as hiring new dispatchers. Train dispatchers, if you don’t know, are involved in all kinds of decisions regarding when a train departs a station or railyard, getting them onto the correct track, watching for other trains ahead of them heading in the direction of the train, etc.
Well, one of the people he interviewed was narcoleptic. Whn he didn’t get the job beause of his narcolepsy, he sued CSX and got some idiot judge to force CSX to hire him. But, if CSX hired him, they had to hire someone else to make sure that he would stay awake and not destroy a train or two or kill a couple of hundred people because he fell asleep.
So, to get 1 employee, CSX had to hire 2 people!
Ya gotta love government! I’m almost surprised that zero hasn’t thought about doing this as a way to put people back to work.
My first question was is Old Dominion a union company?
