Raytheon v. Hernandez (2003)
DREDF co-authored a brief on behalf of national employment and disability rights groups in Raytheon, supporting a plaintiff who challenged an employer s failure to rehire him on the basis of his drug addiction and past substance abuse. The high court decision allowed an employer to apply a neutral no rehire policy, but also left intact the ADA requirement that employers may not discriminate against applicants who have been rehabilitated and do not currently use drugs illegally.
