Malcolm,
Has she asked for written justification of why her needs may not be
accommodated. This would be required to give the station manager an opportunity
to record material reasons why this action is necessary. If she feels his
response is unreasonable she could take it to the Disability Rights Commission.

>I was asked to give advice to a lady who works for a local community radio
>station and who has MS. She works as a volunteer presenter and has a live
>chat show on a Saturday morning which she has successfully being doing for a
>number of years. The station manager wants to shift her show to the middle
>of the afternoon on a week day. The lady works part time during the week
>and has told the manager that she would be too tired to do the show. He has
>told her that she should record the show instead, but this lady says that it
>would change the nature of the show that she does. She feels that the
>reasons for moving the show have not been given and are perhaps based on
>personal grieviences with the manager. Unfortunately she does not have a
>formal contract of employment although other volunteers have signed one. In
>any case she feels that she is being discriminated against because of her
>disability and that the changes being proposed are both petty and
>unreasonable. Can anyone tell me whether she is in any way protected by the
>DDA?
