I have hepa B. Reason I was turned dn 4 work both local & abroad.I am an Archt. Is the reason legal? |
I was diagnosed to have Hepa B in 1990. Other than that, I am very healthy, intelligent and a very qualified professional Architect. But due to my ailment, I have limited opportunity as I am turned down for work due to that reason. I find it depressing as it limits my opportunity for a decent living. Is it legal? Isn't it similar to having HIV? I just want to have an equal opportunity. I also have a family to support. can they not judge me based on merits? I feel for you, i have just been cleared of Hep B, when i got it the hospital were so unhelpful, they acted like it was all my fault and i deserved what i got (one nurse in perticular commented how i should'nt sleep about!!!). In truth, 3 years down the line i still dont know how or where i contracted it. when i got home i felt like a leper but my family were on hand for me giving me support and researching on the internet for me (even to the point of being vaccinated for me/against me) Are you in the US? is should be illegal for them to discriminate againt you on those grounds, you need to talk to a lawyer. Best of wishes and good health for the future. Two questions. Do you openly disclose your condition to your prospective employer? Is it possible for you not to disclose the information? I believe that is a infringement of your 9th amendment right give n to you by the US constitution. "The enumeration in the constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people". Moreover, I believe that it is against the Americans with disabilities act. |
