I thought you wanted to prevent death? Now you're fine with people with allergies being put to work in jobs that would literally kill them.

The law is clear. Accommodations will be made for both parties. Anything else?

The law is indeed clear and was broken. Thus why someone got fired. However people with disabilities are routinely being left stranded and unaccomodated. So yes, lots 'else'.

Firing someone due to a medical condition is discrimination. Anything else?

Refusing to pick up disabled people and their service animals is discrimination. Yes, please delete your account and all its terrible takes.

Not if the driver has a dog allergy. In which case accommodations will be made for both parties and a new driver will arrive to pick you up. Have a nice day :)

There's a system for requesting accommodations from your employer, and the employer has to agree that your accommodations are reasonable and that you're still able to perform the functions of the job. The driver can't just decide on their own not to do parts of the job.

I'm disabled. If I were to drive for Uber, I'd be unable to assist people with their luggage or things like that. Uber would not be discriminating against me if they refused to hire me, because I'm not capable of performing the job even with accommodations.

If I were to get a job with Uber anyway, and then just drive away and cancel the ride if I saw that the passenger had luggage that they'd need help with, I would absolutely be in the wrong, both legally and morally.

Fwiw, I think in point of fact you can say that you can't lift heavy stuff as an Uber driver and you're still allowed to drive, it's just bad for your tips If the passenger can carry their own stuff to and from their vehicle then they can also stow it themselves

I bring this up because in this situation CS told the driver they did have someone to stow and retrieve the wheelchair and the driver didn't actually physically need to do anything But the driver still refused

I know that Lyft has rules that a driver has to assist with getting a lightweight foldable wheelchair into the trunk if the passenger requests it (I've had to cite that one a few times when taking Lyft), so I'd assumed Uber was the same.
