So employers need to be careful not to hire sickly people?
2 comments

It's illegal to discriminate against someone because of their medical background or disability unless it's critical for the job. For medical background they wouldn't be able to get the information anyway.

Sickness is just part of the cost of doing business with people, not robots.

Wow. O.o

So in US employers just whip sickly people into coming to work or how does that line of reasoning work?
