I’ve been a member there for ten years, I work out three times a week and I’ve never seen or heard ANY hint of that. The bathroom is centrally located, upstairs, right by the treadmills, there’s no way that happens there...
Unless I’m completely crazy, naive, ignorant or all three!!!

Oregon Rancher, you work out at that Y, is what they’re saying possibly true???
We just got back from a trip to the east coast and haven’t
popped into the “Y” yet so I haven’t the faintest idea.
I do know, as a matter of principle, that I won’t bend over
in any public restroom or shower, even our “Y”.
Laughing.....Ed, I’ll be at the guy next Monday morning!
Screw the city.
Hmmm...what’s happening Monday?
See ya’,
Ed
Nutten....Just Monday I’ll start back to the gym...laughing.
No, I’m not a statist, and other than enjoying captions on the TV, I haven’t personally benefitted from the ADA. The ADA requirements certainly aren’t that imposing. Is it too much to ask for you to purchase a $100 captioned telephone to help your employee do a better job on the phone? That’s the only thing you’d be required to do. You dont have to hire the HOH or deaf perhaps they remind you too much of your own disability and your lack of understanding or compassion. You’d probably be against installing toilets for your employees if it weren’t required by law. I could go on but the ADA is a great idea. Yes, it’s been abused by some, but like OSHA, it is good for business.

The question of whether the ADA has benefited me or others is beside the point. Whether or not it is a good idea, the federal government simply does not have the legitimate authority to enforce such a law against private businesses that receive no federal money.
Compliance with this law is hardly confined to the purchase of a $100 telephone, despite your assertion that “thats the only thing youd be required to do”. The ADA applies not only to accommodating employees, but potential customers as well. Although a good corporate manager would gladly accommodate both disabled employees and customers, I do not think it is the federal government’s role to demand goodness.
