The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has sued American Tool & Mold of Clearwater, FL, with alleged disability discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The company fired an employee because he did not provide a medical release for a six-year old back surgery. Requiring some employees to provide medical documentation for old medical conditions violates the ADA. The employee had performed well for two months during the time he was trying to get the outdated medical release.
