I also ask, in all honesty, how many employers would hire a person knowing that they have a mental illness?  Although it is blatant discrimination, it's the unfortunate truth.  I've seen it with many employers ... not only with mental illness, but physical disabilities too.  Most cases of discrimination are not reported in fear of retaliation or a "reputation.  It's rather sad :(<br/><br/>

Personally, I find that offensive and invasive.  This is one more socialist mandate for business in the march toward mediocrity.<br/><br/>

CFS/ME sufferers also need to speak up and inform not only their physicians, but their friends, families and community around them.  Get the word out about how debilitating this disease really is!
Anyone whose life has been forever negatively altered by CFS/ME can show you just how real it is!!!<br/><br/>

But as HR, I do sometimes questions whether anyone responsible for all the laws and court rulings thinks about the affect of some of this on our businesses.  Between ADA & FMLA, who is supposed to be at work answering the phones, providing customer service, delivering the products, marketing the products, etc., etc.?  Just curious<br/><br/>

Otherwise, we'd still be using children in industrial jobs, taking advantage of women by paying them at a much lower comparable rate than even the present. We'd also allow employers to default on pension obligations and there would be no SSA because such payments cut into profits. Oh, yeah... we'd also go back to the industrial age where workers earned their pay by sacrificing their bodies and health. Maybe we could bring back black lung disease! If you think today's laws need changing then, fair enough, make your arguments and do your own advocacy. In the meantime, if you want to play the earnings game, you probably should also spend some time knowing the rules and obeying them.<br/><br/>
