Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)

Explanation:

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law in 2008 to ensure that the discrimination against persons with disabilities in jobs, schools and all places are not found. It guarantees equal opportunity for persons with disabilities in employment and general accommodations. The protection this law gives to individuals is similar to that given to people based on race, gender, age and religion.

So by relieving Oscar, who has degenerative eye disease of his employment is a violation of the provisions of ADA.
