ADA Doesn’t Require Employer to Keep Customer-Facing Employee Whose Tourette’s Leads Him to Use Slurs

This led to repeated customer complaints, and eventually led Cooper’s employer (Coca-Cola Consolidated, Inc., or CCCI) to reassign Cooper to a lower-paying non-customer-facing warehouse position, $18.96/hour instead of $20.38/hour. (Cooper’s doctor had concluded that Cooper could work as a driver, but “Needs to be present with another driver,” presumably because that was the only way he could avoid customer contact.)

My youngest son worked with a guy whose Tourette’s caused him to emit a continuous stream of racist invective. However, their job involved washing boats, so no worries.
