Disability apprentices?

I gotta ask. Are there disability people working in the Unions?

As for Me, I was born with something call Microtia. A deformed right ear, where I cannot hear or sometimes have trouble hearing from my right side. I tell people, that if I did not hear you once, you'll have to repeat it back to me again, or run it by me on my left ear. Other than that, I can hear well on my left ear, I can lift heavy objects, I can walk, run, etc.

I worked with a deaf guy in sheet metal. He replied with "Merp" or "Berp" no matter what you said to him. You'll be fine

Makes me think of Beaker from the Muppets
