DeafDigest - 26 August 2019

DeafDigest Mid-Week edition - August 26, 2019 -- comment by an interpreter An interpreter asked: If a hearing person, knowing no ASL tell her that the signs on the stage were beautiful. In that case, the interpreter would ask: What new signs did you pick up?     -- Walmart continues as a mystery Walmart lost a lawsuit; EEOC said deaf employees still face discrimination. Yet, Walmart said it makes it a point to hire deaf and disabled applicants. It is the same Walmart store that lost the case that DeafDigest shops for food and stuff. And when DeafDigest editor cannot find an item he is looking for, he would write it on a notebook and show it to a Walmart employee. In all cases, even the top management, they have helped him find the item. Discrimination or no discrimination? Or being a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?   -- these deafness information web sites there are many, many web sites that carry information about the deaf and of deafness. The big question is - are deaf people aware of these such web sites, whose advice could greatly help them down the road?     Deaf jobs - latest update http://deafdigest.com/category/jobs/ 08/25/19 Blue and Gold editions & sub options at: http://deafdigest.com/newsletters/
