The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed an enforcement action against DaimlerChrysler AG on behalf of cognitively-impaired job applicants who allege that the company failed to provide readers for them in violation of the federal Americans with Disabilities Act. The action seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.
The job applicants suffer from various cognitive impairments that limit their ability to learn, read, and comprehend written materials. DaimlerChrysler allegedly refused to provide persons to assist with the applicants' reading tasks during the application process for at least two workers who were applying for manufacturing positions that did not require significant reading skills. The action alleges that the company then refused to hire them based on their inability to complete the application process.
