A friend of mine recently became physically disabled. They have worked as a cashier for over 10 years and now their employer is refusing to let them use a stool. The EEOC website says:
> Example B: A cashier easily becomes fatigued because of lupus and, as a result, has difficulty making it through her shift. The employee requests a stool because sitting greatly reduces the fatigue. This accommodation is reasonable because it is a common-sense solution to remove a workplace barrier being required to stand when the job can be effectively performed sitting down. This “reasonable” accommodation is effective because it addresses the employee's fatigue and enables her to perform her job.
I encouraged her to file a complaint with the EEOC alleging discrimination against her disability. Does anyone have any insight? Are these complaints effective? I really think the employer is being shitty.
