Justin's HIV Journal: What if your Food Server was HIV positive?
FORGIVE THE SOUND PROBLEM
On April 8, 2011, the US Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) and Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis hosted a national Roundtable on HIV and Employment at which I was honored to testify. Representatives of the US Department of Justice and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission testified as well.
As of 2009, Congress passed legislation that specifically included HIV/AIDS in the protections of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) that prohibits against discrimination in hiring or employment. If you have problems, you have rights and can get help.
Thank you Mark Fischer for the information
