Emily worked at a textile manufacturing company. After injuring her hand in an accident, she was unable to perform her duties. Her supervisor asked her to stay at home till he found a replacement job for her at the firm. However, he did not contact her, and she was eventually forced to quit her job. In the given scenario, which of the following types of discrimination did Emily face?

Disability Discrimination

Explanation:

Disability discrimination seeks to describe a scenario where an individual is treated on an entirely different way - not encouraged, not advised, bad, basically on account of his/her state of health.

Disability discrimination is one of the banes in labor employment landscape.

Given the scenario under study, Emily sustained an accident during the course of her duty. Inadvertently, this made her unable to perform any task. The supervisor has thus calmed her that he would find a replacement job for her - one that would not be constrained by the injury. However, he didn't do this, and Emily was forced to quit her job.

It is thus evident that the supervisor is not truthful with his promise as stated. We want to believe that he acknowledged the efficiency of Emily, hence why he entrusted her with the job. However, even with this acknowledged efficiency, the supervisor still find it hard to take her up on another function, all because of the sustained injury. This is a disability discrimination and it contravenes any sound labour acts.
