Can you guess what our fine MBTA did next? They tried to make this guy work on Friday nights and Saturdays. They wouldn’t provide him with an accommodation even though he could work every hour of every other day. And then they revoked his job offer. The SJC affirmed the discrimination commission’s finding that this violated the Commonwealth’s discrimination laws.
A point about the wheels of justice. The events in question took place in 1997. That means it took ten full years for the Commonwealth’s justice system to resolve this dispute. As Jeremy Piven would say: “Ten YEARS!”
