A couple of months ago, I testified at an EEOC hearing about wrongful dismissal of people with epilepsy from their jobs. Believe it or not, we are not covered or protected by the EEOC. The aim of adding us to this bill would be to end wrongful dismissal and offer protection by giving us legal recourse.
