Deaf People can work as Drivers at UPS
James Stone (ISD 1984) wants to let you all know that deaf people can work as drivers at the United Parcel Service. In the trial, Bates vs. UPS, the court said that the UPS no longer can bar deaf people from driving the smaller vehicles. By Novemeber 20, 2004, UPS must change its policy and test every deaf applicant for his.her driving record to see if they can drive small trucks for UPS. They can no longer tell deaf employees they cannot drive small trucks! Current deaf employyes at UPS can fill out a bid form for a driving position and submit the bid form to the Human Resources ADA representative in the personnel office.
