Answer: check explanation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is not really clear, whether the question is asking whether recent court cases are on the question above asking us to answer whether recent court cases include drug-addicted employees who claim their addiction is an illness, and therefore, they are protected from wrongful discharge under the American with Disabilities
OR
whether the person is asking if the American with Disabilities Act covers drug-addicted employees who claim their addiction is an illness, and therefore, they are protected from wrongful discharge under the American with Disabilities Act.
====> If the question is about the first scenario, then, yes it is part of the recent court cases, and you can get a hold of some of them online on National Archives Order Reproductions page.
===> But, if the question is to the second scenario; then check the Explanation below;
It is true that drug-addicted employees who claim their addiction is an illness, and therefore, they are protected from wrongful discharge under the American with Disabilities Act, but they do not really know how the American with Disabilities Act work.
===> If drug-addicted employees are caught and got there job terminated, they can not be covered under the American with Disabilities Act, because, in order for the drug -addicted employees to be covered they must not be using the drugs ''currently'' and they should have been receiving treatment(rehabilitation).
The term ''currently'' used above is not for few weeks,for example, an employee claiming he/she stopped taking drugs and he/she is on rehabilitation for 5-8 weeks, so, he/she should be covered by the American with Disabilities Act CAN NOT BE COVERED UNDET THE ACTS because the ''Currently'' word usage means something longer than that. That is, THE TREATMENT SHOULD BE A LONG TERM AND THERE SHOULD BE A REPORT THAT THE EMPLOYEE IS RECOVERING.
SO, UNDER THIS, IF THE CONDITIONS OF LONG TERM REHABILITATION IS NOT MET, THEN, THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION WILL BE FALSE.
