Is it illegal to disqualify folks from jobs requiring a valid driver’s license due to eye conditions?
Due to an eye condition, I am currently unable to get a driver’s license. However, many of the jobs in my area (Ohio/West Virginia) require a valid driver’s license to get a job. Is this illegal, or could it be considered discrimination?
For the record, several of the jobs I have looked at have required driver’s licenses, but driving is not a required part of the job.
If they discriminated you solely based on your vision, then it would be illegal. However, if you really do need a drivers license and you can’t drive, then it’s valid. You can’t fulfill the job duties.
