We'll hear our argument now number OO-1089 Toyota Motor Manufacturing versus Ella Williams.

Hey everyone, this is Leon from Fiasco and Prologg Projects.

On today's episode of 5-4, Peter, Riannan, and Michael discuss Toyota Motor Manufacturing V Williams.

A 2001 case about the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The plaintiff in the case, Ella Williams, was fired by Toyota, which cited poor attendance.

Williams sued, claiming that Toyota had failed to accommodate her disability, Carpal Tunnel,

and that it had been exacerbated by her work on the assembly line.

The Justice has said this Kentucky Toyota plant did not have to find another job for an employee who suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

and could no longer work on the assembly line.

The decision found that Ella Williams' partial disability did not substantially limit her major life activities.

In a unanimous opinion, the court sent the case back down to the lower court, which eventually ruled against Williams.

We're in this bizarre twilight zone where we're too disabled, apparently, to work, but yet we're not disabled enough to be covered under the law.

This is 5-4, a podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks.

Welcome to 5-4, where we dissect and analyze the Supreme Court cases that have a ground-arliberties to the bone, like the cartilage in a veteran NBA player's knees.

And Rianan.
