Yes, those things can happen. Doesn't mean they will. Remember, a large chunk of people in this country are working under at-will employment. That means that if the company doesn't want to accommodate you, they don't have to; they just let you go without saying why. The onus is now on you to prove beyond a reasonable doubt (and spending large amounts of money on legal fees to do so) that you were let go because of that.

No, the employee contacts the ADA and EEOC. Please reread my comment.

The employee contacts the Americans with Disabilities Act?

And beyond that, what guarantees that the EEOC is going to act, and that they'll find in your favor?

Fair enough, the employee will notify their state office that handles ADA complaints.

There's no guarantee for anything in life. There is even a strong likelihood that justice won't be served. But that is a far cry from throwing up our hands and claiming a rigged system. There is a reason why so many malls, stores, and restaurants have disabled-accessible entrances, and it's not wishful thinking. It's enforcement at the state and local level.
