The Americans with Disabilities Act: promise or problem?
Now that some states have restricted workers' compensation claims related to stress, the author predicts that the Americans with Disabilities Act, with its many ambiguous definitions, will become a favored target of litigation brought by employees seeking redress for work-related grievances. The ADA is reviewed in terms of the potential problems that employees increasingly are facing in regard to mental disabilities.
