People with disabilities call on govt to remove barriers to work

Advocates say job seekers effectively barred from entering civil service

BEIJING - Government agencies should be open to potential employees who have disabilities, urged the 1,084 people who put their names to an open letter to the State Administration of Civil Service on Sunday, the National Day of Assisting People with Disabilities.

The letter calls on the government to remove all discriminatory regulations that impede people with disabilities wanting to take part in the civil service recruitment process.
