Post by: goji.go on Jul 19, 2013
Jeremy is a telemarketer who is hearing impaired. His hearing aid helps him take calls at work and this compensates for his disability. He accidentally broke his hearing aid and did not have the money to replace it. He asked for an advance on salary and was refused. He asked for a loan and was refused. As a result, Jeremy was unable to take calls from customers and he was fired from his job because of "poor performance." Which government agency shall he call to help Jeremy in this situation?
A) the Securities and Exchange Commission
B) the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
C) the United States Congress
D) the Department of Health and Human Services
E) the United States Department of Agriculture

B) The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission will help Jeremy sort out the legal ramifications of his situation based on the Americans with Disabilities Act and such issues as discrimination in the workplace. His hearing impairment is a disability and therefore he is protected in the workplace by laws created for the benefit of Americans with disabilities.
