The suit argues that National Telecommuting Institute failed to help find jobs for visually impaired people.
The feds have sued a company that helps people with disabilities work as phone-based customer service personnel.
National Telecommuting Institute Inc. violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by refusing to help blind and low-vision applicants get work as telephone-based customer service personnel, according to the EEOC's allegations. The agency filed its suit Wednesday. In its suit, the EEOC maintains that after learning visually impaired applicants used accessibility technologies such as programs that convert computer text to speech, National Telecommuting officials told those applicants no positions were available that could accommodate their software. The filing also accuses the nonprofit of failing to offer reasonable accommodations to participate in its pre-employment application process.
