The 1900s were great for billionaires like Lutnick, but not so great for the average American worker.

In case you aren't already Roe Roe Roeing your vote to the polls, you should know that workplace and individual protections are younger than you might think! Here’s a quick timeline of landmark laws and cases that shaped our rights, and are at risk today: 🧑🤝🧑 1964: Title VII—Banned workplace discrimination by race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. 👵  1967:  ADEA—Protected workers 40+ from age discrimination.  🫄 1973:   Roe v. Wade—Secured privacy in personal healthcare decisions.   ♿  1990:  ADA—Guaranteed equal opportunities for people with disabilities. Think your rights in the workplace are here to stay? We believe it depends on the outcome of this election. #RoeRoeRoeyourvote #EqualOpportunity #CivilRights

At Sobel, Wade & Mapley, we help employees understand their rights, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a key piece of that puzzle. It's especially important to discuss the ADA during October, which is the National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The ADA ensures fair treatment for individuals with disabilities, and it’s more relevant than ever. With a 16% rise in ADA claims last year, more people are standing up for their rights in the workplace. 👉 Know Your Rights: Disabilities—visible or invisible—are protected. 👉 Ask for Accommodations: Need adjustments like a modified schedule or assistive tech? You have the right to ask. 👉 Call a Lawyer if Denied: If accommodations are denied or retaliation occurs, we’re here to help. Navigating the ADA can feel complex, but we’re here to make it simpler.
