The Work Safety and Disability Sector

In order to maximize the greatest accommodation for those with disabilities, Haley2024 proposes moving all regulations from government control to CRA’s.  A Rating System will clearly show those doing better jobs with those with disabilities and encourage much higher standards and results.

The goal of the greatest independence and interdependence of those suffering from any type of disability can best be achieved in the free enterprise system.

Having many different disabilities regulatory models versus just the government’s monopoly of only one model will weed out the inadequate regulations that have a high cost to benefit ratio and replaced them with ever better and more effective regulations.  ​

The high majority of people care and want everyone who desires to be gainfully employed.  If customers had an easy way of knowing the ratings of a company regarding how they treat or accommodate those with disabilities, they would take that into consideration when they decide if they would do business with them. ​​​

The current government monopoly regulations are mostly well-meaning; however, can often result in adverse results for those with disabilities. ​​

Many just do not think dynamically; for example, many believe if government regulations force an expensive accommodation, that companies will just spend the money they do not have, versus seeking out legal ways for that person to not work at the company.  ​​

There are many examples of companies shutting down entirely or closing certain amenities for everyone because the disabilities accommodations were too burdensome.

 many buildings are ‘grandfathered in’ to not having specific accommodations; however, the owner knows if they want to make any improvements, the grandfather clause is void and the cost to update everything at once often stops them from updating anything. 

Many people with disabilities understand their limitations may make themselves less productive than others without.  They should have the legal ability to price their labor accordingly and then strive to use their wisdom and intelligence to make up the difference and then ask for comparable pay. ​

Laws that forbid people with disabilities from negotiating the price of their labor take away these disabled people’s liberties and do great harm.  Forcing companies to pay for specific accommodations if they have a disabled person in the office profoundly influences those hiring to legally ‘overlook’ the disabled.  Allowing the free market to work without the restrictions allows the disabled to negotiate the price of their labor to offset the increased cost of accommodations.         

When health care costs are tied to employment (it should not be), an employer sees higher health care cost attached to a person with disabilities and will ‘overlook’ their application for employment.  If a company desires to give benefits to their employees to ensure they have a healthy workforce, the proper solution is to have the employee buy insurance through the free enterprise system and then the company can contribute a certain amount to the premiums.  The employees make up the difference or allow the extra to go into a multitude of other insurances.    

The Charity Economies will likely step in for those with long-term substantial disabilities.  The roughly dozen CDA’s, Charity CRA’s, AO’s, Churches, Family Law CRA’s and others will work dynamically with subjective determination to meet needs and increase self-worth of those with special needs.  While Sector 27: Work Safety and Disability would officially regulate ADA type laws, many other Sectors are likely going to play significant roles.
