Justice For Employees With Disabilities (JED) has announced a new cause, rallying behind an employee who was unfairly terminated.
—
JED explains in their new announcement that they will be raising awareness in the case of Sally, a woman who was fired from her 35-year position due to the cost of her hearing loss treatments. They will be seeking justice in Sally’s case, and sharing resources with others who have experienced similar injustices.

Sally’s case is the latest awareness campaign launched by JED to bring the stories of those with “hidden” disabilities, such as hearing or vision loss, to light. These individuals are often treated unfairly due to their conditions, but due to the unseen nature of their impairment, may not receive the attention necessary to find justice in their cases.
In Sally’s case and in the case of many disabled employees, her firing was justified as a “cost-cutting” measure by the company. However, it was later discovered that she was the target of discrimination, and was actually fired because they could not afford to accommodate her needs - despite the fact that they are mandated to do so under the Equality Act of 2010.
In response to cases like this, JED is offering a 5-step action plan that companies can follow to make their workplaces more equitable for the disabled through the implementation of mutually beneficial measures. The adjustments they propose are simple and cost-effective, intended to offer relief not only to the disabled, but to all employees.
JED encourages disabled employees to bring the 5-point checklist to the attention of their employer in the interest of preventing another case like Sally’s from happening again. By improving the workplace permanently through measures like wheelchair accessibility and ergonomic equipment, the company is also shielded from future discrimination claims.
The Justice For Employees With Disabilities blog has recently been launched, and will continue to bring attention to stories of discrimination in an attempt to secure justice and foster a more equitable work environment for all. They seek to empower all employees regardless of ability to speak out for the rights of the disabled and negotiate universally fair treatment.
Those interested in advocating for disability rights can sign up to receive the JED newsletter at the link below. There, one can also download the free 5-point checklist which can be used as a guide for future advocacy, and which can be easily shared with friends, family, and coworkers.
