Reasonable Accommodation
2002
U.S. AIRWAYS, INC. v. BARNETT (00-1250) 228 F.3d 1105
Questions before the Court:
- How the ADA resolves a potential conflict between the interests of a disabled worker who seeks assignment to a particular position as a "reasonable accommodation" and the interests of other workers with superior rights to bid for the job under an employer's seniority system.
- Does the accommodation demand trump the seniority system?
