Disabled Veterans Should Have The Right To Work

United Spinal Association’s VetsFirst believes that every disabled veteran has the right to work. The honorable men and women who have become disabled through their service of our country deserve our support - not only for the purpose of restoring their health, but also to restore their livelihoods.
Most veterans gave up their jobs to serve their country Many will now be discriminated against when attempting to re-enter the work force. Why? Because they have a disability.
The courts have set up a bizarre Catch-22 whereby an employer can say that a person is “too disabled” to do the job, but “not disabled enough” to be protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act. This needs to change!
United Spinal Association VetsFirst along with Vietnam Veterans of America has from the onset made every effort to combat this injustice.

Twenty two veterans and military organizations have signed letters to Congress supporting a bill that protects people with disabilities from discrimination on the job.
