  • Title: EEOC is making quick work of AIDS job-bias litigation. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
    Journal: AIDS Policy Law; 1995 Sep 08; 10(16):6. PubMed ID: 11362771.
    Abstract:
    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has been successful in resolving discrimination cases that involve HIV/AIDS. Half of the cases the EEOC has taken to court under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) have been settled out of court. Over 900 claims of disability-based employment discrimination related to HIV/AIDS have been brought to the EEOC since the ADA took effect in 1992. AIDS is the largest single category of disability that has been sent to court directly by the EEOC. By filing suit, the EEOC reminds employers that they cannot fire a worker with a disability or cap an employee's medical benefits to improve corporate profit margin.
