Wednesday, Dec. 5th 2012 6:12 AM
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed suit against CTW L.L.C., a Wendy’s franchisee, for denying employment to a job applicant because he has a disability. The applicant had worked at another fast food restaurant before, but wasn’t hired at Wendy’s because of his hearing impairment. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, employers must provide reasonable accommodations to an employee with a disability, unless it causes significant difficulty or expense for the employer.
