Legal Analysis
The legal issues in the Cronan case are primarily centered on job discrimination. ... This element presumably has been satisfied in the Cronan case as no evidence was presented indicating that Cronan was unable to perform his job. ... This element is also present in the Cronan case as was indicated by the fact that prior to Cronan being diagnosed with AIDS (and the subsequent dissemination of the information to the remainder of the workforce) there had been no indication of hostilities toward Cronan. ... This also was clearly identified in the Cronan case as was demonstrated by Cronan’s fear to return to the South Boston facility due to the hostilities and NETs initial lack of accommodation for his transfer request. ...
NET said that Cronan voluntarily disclosed the AIDS condition and further claimed that Cronan never responded to its offer to return nor made any attempts to be reinstated. The provisions of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 are not applicable to the Cronan case. ...

Since there is now evidence of any racial discrimination in the Cronan case, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 would not be applied.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) also does not apply to the Cronan case. ... Cronan was under 40 years old and thus the ADEA is not applicable to this case.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 would have been applicable to the Cronan case if it had been passed before 1985. ... Cronan would clearly be considered as qualified disabled. NET would be in violation of the ADA due to the discrimination of Cronan based upon his having AIDS. Furthermore, the labor union is also in apparent violation of the ADA due to the members’ discrimination against Cronan. ... The Cronan case did not detail the customers that NET serves and thus the applicability of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to the Cronan case is unknown. ... There is no evidence of violation of the Equal Pay Act in the Cronan case. ... Based upon the evidence presented in the Cronan case coupled with the text of this assignment, it is unclear as to whether legal violations of privacy occurred.
