The Equal Employment Oppoirtunity Commission is suing Old Dominion Freightlines of Arkansas for discrimination against those with a self-reported disability: Alcoholism.
This seems like a legitimate reason not to hire someone. Not because they drink, but because they're too stupid to know that if they admit to being a booze-hound on the application for a job that requires sobriety (stop laughing, right now...) they're too stupid to get the job. I mean, how many sober truck drivers have you ever met? I can count on the fingers of one ear how many I know. Still, being dumb enough to make sure the company will take the blame for any accident you cause because of your "disability" is a legitimate barrier to entry into any job, right?
That's my theory at least.
