QUESTION
If they cannot talk about his condition, would that be against the ADA Laws?

More details to this question:
My dad around spring break had a heart attack. When we went to the hospital we found out that he has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which makes his heart three times the size it should be. His work knew he was in the hospital because of his heart. When he returned to work, they said he was in so many blood thinners that he ran a stop light and hit a car. He said that he felt blank and like he was going to faint. So his work put him on leave. The union was fighting for his job back. They didn't want to talk about his heart condition to the people. They basically wanted to keep it a secret. So he lost his job. They wouldn't even give him a job inside the corporation.

I don't know, and I wish I could read the minds of the union geniuses who chose not to disclose the heart problem. Maybe they had a good reason of which I am unaware. I don't think the ADA relates to the situation, but you'd do best to consult an expert that is, a lawyer who does a lot of anti-discrimination work. These laws have become devilishly complex, and it is mainly those who practice in the area every day who are equipped to answer your question. Good Luck.
