Harris-Morrison v. Sabert Corporation

**What Happened** A worker sued Sabert Corporation (though the case details mention Gannett newspaper companies) claiming discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The worker argued that the company's website was not accessible to people with disabilities and violated ADA rules that require businesses to make their services available to everyone. **What the Court Decided** The court dismissed the case entirely, ruling in favor of the company. The judge found that a newspaper publisher's website does not count as a "place of public accommodation" under Title III of the ADA. This means the company is not required to make their website accessible to people with disabilities under this particular law. **What This Means for Workers** This ruling limits how workers can use ADA laws to challenge inaccessible company websites. While the ADA requires physical locations like stores and restaurants to be accessible, this court said websites don't fall under the same rules. However, workers should know that other courts have ruled differently on website accessibility, and there may be other legal options available. Workers with disabilities should still report accessibility issues, as different laws or future court decisions might provide protection.
