Well, the website you link to gets the opinion wrong. I only skimmed the opinion but what it says is that McDonald's has a duty to accommodate a person with a disability to the point of undue hardship. Precedent in that court establishes that having a faulty procedure of assessing the disability and thinking of alternatives necessarily results in a violation of the HR Code.
Basically, the court ruled against McDonald's because they didn't even try to come up with some way to allow Ms. Datt to keep her job.

Well of course they would can her. Let people contract something or lose a simple worker that they could easily find 500+ people who could replace her? I have all current vaccinations, anyways. I'm still eating fast food.

It seems like it'll be a little too easy for employees to sue over being dismissed for poor hygiene now, though.
I dunno, I'm of the opinion that all this "human rights" stuff is getting a bit out of hand. It seems like EVERYTHING is a human right these days.

Nah dude you can't sue for just being dirty. She had a skin condition that even McDonald's agreed fell into the HR Code of disabilities. If McDonald's had just TRIED to come up with a job that Ms. Datt could do without having to wash her hands, the Tribunal might not have ruled against them. Even if, after a well-designed deliberation process, McDonald's decided that they could not find a new position for Ms. Datt without suffering "undue hardship," the Tribunal would still not have ruled against them.
Can we really say human rights is getting out of hand when the highest levels of the US government (including Rice, Cheney, and Rumsfeld) condoned torture? And that's the United freakin' States! The stuff going on in China, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Africa, India, and South America would make you cry.
