    Not sure why he got that big settlement. A pair of these costs less than $10.

    IMG_3519.jpeg Another article I read says the EEOC says the settlement is capped at 300,000.
    36 million just grabs more headlines.

    The headline had me confused, but upon reading the article, he got an exemption to be able to drive. They even went so far to bring him in for CDL training. So I guess at that point, Werner discriminated and fouled up.
     
    Siinman and Albertaflatbed Thank this.

    Werner admitted that they discriminated and continue to do so.

    “The Vice President of Safety testified that Werner continues to deny employment opportunities for new deaf drivers.”

    Read what I circled in yellow in my previous post.
    What the jury rendered and what will be paid out are two different things.

    Sorry if this pisses people off but like other disabilities, there are some things that should never be allowed in this industry, deaf drivers are one of them.

    do they have completely deaf airline pilots?
