The threat-to-self defense and the ADA

The United States. Supreme Court gave it's decision on the Chevron USA, Inc. v. Echazabal case on June 10, 2002. The decision said that the employers do not breach the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), when they do not employ an applicant, who would be subject to any physical risk on the job .The complainant is Mario Echazabal, who was denied employment by Chevron on grounds of disability. ADA defines disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life functions. ADA forbids the covered employers from showing such discrimination. A covered employer is one having 15 or additional employees for 20 weeks during the former year.
