Persons with disabilities have the same rights as all people to non-discrimination, access, equality of opportunity, inclusion and full participation in society. These are the basic principles underlying the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The Arizona Civil Rights Act (ACRA) is a state law that prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities. The ACRA offers pretty much the same protections as the ADA. The Arizona attorney general's office has a Civil Rights Division (ACRD) that enforces ACRA.
Report workplace discrimination Report discrimination to the EEOC. Use the EEOC's public portal to follow the complaint process. Submit an online inquiry. Schedule an interview with someone from the EEOC.
You can do that by filing a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) – a federal organization – or the Department of Fair Employment and Housing – a California organization. Both of these agencies are designed to make the workplace comfortable for all employees.
You should call the EEOC at 1-800-669-4000 if you think the law may have been violated. A person with a disability must be able to perform the job he or she is applying for or currently holds, with or without reasonable accommodation.
Be pro-active. Report incidents of inappropriate, discriminatory, harassing or abusive behavior to your supervisor, Human Resources department, union, or management. If you experience or witness discrimination or harassment contact EEOC or your local human rights commission.
