impact on the haulage industry in terms of the employment of disabled people. Experts say that this area is already well governed by the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, which Is currently undergoing radical amendments. The most significant change is that, as of October 2004, companies employing 15 people or fewer will lose their exemption from the terms of the Act.
According to David Walker, this will affect a great many small to medium-sized haulage firms, particularly in terms of office or administration staff: "The Act will have an effect an small employers, although its more likely to be desk-bound jobs that are affected."
