By the new York times in the first Federal appeals decision of its kind a three judge panel has ruled unanimously that Job discrimination against severely obese people violates a Federal disabilities Law. The Case was brought by Bonnie Cook a 5-foot2-Inch, 320-Pound Rhode Island woman who was refused a state Job because of her weight. Cook worked at the Ladd Center a residential unit for mentally impaired Piersons from 1978 to 1980 and again rom 1981 to 1986. Both times the court said she left the Job voluntarily leaving behind a spotless work record. But in 1988, when she reapplied for the same Job the state refused to hire her on the ground that her weight compromised her ability to evacuate patients in an emergency and put her at greater risk of developing serious ailments. Cook sued claiming she was being discriminated against because of a Handicap in violation of Section 504 of the rehabilitation act of 1973.
