The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit in San Antonio federal court against a nonprofit that provides job placement for people with disabilities. The feds allege the organization discriminated against the visually impaired. National Telecommuting Institute Inc. violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by refusing to help blind and low-vision applicants get work as telephone-based customer service personnel, according to the EEOC's allegations.
