However, he was contracted by the same company to do the same job. The
company just didn't want to hire him on as an employee. But, as has been
stated, he is a potential workman's compensation liability risk.

Also, Mags, correctable vision is not a chronic illness that is affected
by one's job. The plantiff in the case I cited had cirrhosis of the
liver that presumeably would have been aggravated by exposure to toxic
chemicals. The man wanted the job because it would have paid more and
offered better benefits. However, the company felt there was a
potential liability in the exposure to toxic chemicals and wanted to
avoid the possibility future litigation, which, really, I can't blame
them for.
