-- FedEx Ground says deaf must hear barcode scanner beeps
FedEx Ground has been accused of discrminating against
deaf employees, denied opportunities because they cannot
hear barcode scanner beeps. The federal judge told
FedEx Ground that court trial will proceed on behalf
of 17 deaf employees that have claimed discrimination.
For a long time, both groups have negotiated, discussed,
had conferences, and heavily persuaded each other - to
no avail - hence the court trial.
-- football concussions are serious
A couple of weeks ago DeafDigest editor chatted with
a deaf assistant football coach of a hearing high
school team. He said that his team had a serious
issue with concussions - because seven players
suffered these head injuries in just one season.
DeafDigest is mentioning this because Derrick
Coleman's attorney said he had a concussion
but continued to play football for the Seattle
Seahawks. This led to a bad autombile accident
that the cops are accusing him of vehicular
assault.
