Ada Compliance Dispute Resolution
Full Conversation
Please review this message and give advise. I am in a dispute with my HR department where they are refusing to comply with good faith negotiations on ADA.
Hi ****! I'm sorry to hear about your situation.
To assist you better, could you clarify if you have already filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)? This step is crucial in ADA disputes.

Subject: Ensuring ADA Compliance and Encouraging Good Faith Efforts
Dear Ms. St. Pierre,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to address the importance of ADA compliance and to encourage ongoing good faith efforts from all parties involved in the interactive process.
Importance of ADA Compliance:
As we continue our discussions regarding reasonable accommodations for my medical condition, I believe it is important to reflect on the city's history with ADA compliance. In the past, the City of Slidell faced legal actions related to ADA violations, such as United States v. City of Slidell (*), which resulted in a consent decree requiring the city to adhere to ADA requirements and make necessary accommodations for employees with disabilities.
Request for Consent Decree:
To ensure that we are fully informed and compliant with the terms of this decree, I request a copy of the consent decree from this case. If the HR department does not have a copy on hand, I give my permission to forward this request to the legal department. Given the city's self-imposed December 16th deadline, a rapid response to this request is crucial to our efforts in addressing my accommodation needs in a timely manner.
Learning from the Past:
By reflecting on these past experiences, we can ensure that we are fully compliant with ADA regulations and are fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment for all employees. This proactive approach will not only help avoid potential legal repercussions but also enhance the overall well-being and productivity of our workforce.
Encouraging Good Faith Efforts:
I am committed to providing any reasonable documentation and engaging in a meaningful dialogue to identify effective accommodations. I respectfully ask that the city reciprocate this commitment by promptly engaging in the interactive process and addressing any outstanding concerns. By working together in good faith, we can ensure a fair and compliant resolution that supports my return to work and promotes a positive workplace environment.
I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to our continued collaboration in addressing these important issues.
Thank you for your cooperation.
