ADA Compliance issue

[anonymous]

Hello,
It is my understanding that as part of ADA compliance, large companies must caption internal video communications. This is not being done in my current employer (top five pharma) and I'm not sure how to proceed.

If there are employees who, because of deafness or some other recognized disability, are impacted by your employer's failure to provide closed-captioned videos, those employees may have a claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as well as state and local law.

Any impacted employee should contact an experienced employment attorney to discuss their options.
