Somebody may have mentioned this already.  If so, I apologize [too many
posts to read them all!]

In last Wednesday's Wall Street Journal there was an interesting article on
the front page of the second section - page B1- entitled, ''A Little Known
Fact of the Disabilities Act Protects Caregivers''   It says that the ADA
outlaws bias against working caregivers and highlighted the story of a woman
who was fired ''to reduce stress'' on her, according to her employer,
because she was caring for a chronically ill husband and mother.  She was
able to sue under the act and as a result got a larger settlement package.

It also described a case where the EEOC sued on someone's behalf who had not
been hired because, they were told, the spouse's MS would hurt the firm's
insurance premium - and a settlement of $70,000 was paid.

If you are a working caregiver and have trouble at work , as 52% of you do
according to a study the reporter mentioned, you should go to the library
and look at this article.  Names, a website and e-mail address were list.ed.
