Glad someone has finally figured this out. This EEOC has subsumed the FMLA by claiming that being at work isn’t an essential function of work. Love the logic.
The previous story about regulation of hedge funds and this one about the ADA are further evidence that Washington apparently believes that endlessly increasing the regulatory burden on business is the only way to achieve economic growth and prosperity. What it will actually achieve is something quite different.
