title: Implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act. 1996 follow-up report on Sears, Roebuck and Co.
abstract: This article is the second in a series examining the employment practices of Sears, Roebuck and Co. in light of its compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Sears employs approximately 20,000 persons with disabilities, nearly 7000 individuals with orthopedic disabilities. The article describes findings from two major areas of inquiry relevant for spine professionals: 1) the costs and benefits of workplace accommodations, and 2) the ways in which Sears and other companies informally and formally resolve Americans with Disabilities Act Title I disputes.
