ABC Products s is a federal contractor with contracts worth over $1 million every year. What federal law requires ABC Products to take affirmative action to employ handicapped people?
Explain why.
The federal law that requires ABC Products to take affirmative action to employ handicapped people is:
Since ABC Products is a federal contractor, Title II of Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) categorically states that public services (which include state and local government agencies, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, and other commuter authorities) are not supposed to deny services to people with disabilities nor should deny participation in programs and activities, in which people without disabilities are actively participating. Indeed, public transportation systems such as the public trains and transit buses should be accessible to individuals with disabilities.
And the reasons behind this law are:
· To make American society more accessible to people with disabilities
· To remove the injustices faced by people with disabilities.
· To eradicate discriminatory policies and practices against disabled people.
· To increase solidarity among people with different disabilities.
· To ensure people with disabilities enjoy the same rights and opportunities as everyone else.
