Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Obesity 'could be a disability' - EU courts
rule
It’s a binding ruling by the European Court
of Justice to all EU countries. Now, if someone is too fat to do a job properly,
he or she can be regarded as disabled. It sounds fair to protect a person with
excessive weight being discriminated or harassed by the employer, boss or
coworkers. However, it could be a big hassle for businesses. If they are
required to accommodate furniture and other settings only for certain people
who aren’t cautious about their weight, it’ll not only cost a lot but could create
unfairness with those who are trying to be fit and healthy.
Furthermore, do those who are obese want to
be labeled “too fat”?
Enjoy reading and learning what could this
ruling indicate.
