We are still trying to help these disabled veterans and handicap, we cannot stress how much you viewing the site helps (it gives their authority to negotiate) and please pass it along to family and friends. Have a Blessed Day
My name is Bill Irvin and I am a member of the Disabled American Veterans, I am disabled which made me an advocate for the disabled. I first saw this video on “You Tube” and needlessly to say I was most upset. This fellow was a decorated, disabled veteran who became further injured on the job. You can contact the individual and verify everything, but “a picture is worth a thousand words”. The federal agency for which he worked refused to provide “Reasonable Accommodations” they also refused to make their work sites accessible to the handicap. You will see in the video the individual could not access the building and would have to CRAWL from the outside to a second chair which was ultimately vandalized. The individual tried everything we have been led to believe are there to help. I can attest they do not work. Look at how the government treats the wounded at Walter Reed at the recent revelations at Fort Bragg. He feels it is too late to help him but he is trying to gain leverage so he can help the other handicap employees, so you can write or call the agency, your Senator but if like most people it takes too much time you can help by just viewing the site. Look at what is currently happening to other disabled employees “"There is one lady at one of the offices who is wheel chaired bound and can only go to the bathroom with the help of two people who lift her into a stall, another where the employee has emphysema and was/ is forced to work in a toxic facility and yet another where a employee is being forced to wait until someone can push him next door to another Agency's building and their bathroom (soiling himself quite regularly)". Thanks for taking the time to read this request you may find the site at http://ca.youtube.com/user/Governementabused.
