I am being told I need to work twice as fast to get the required work done, even tho' I am on a reduced schedule due to a medical condition.Can they do that? Isn't that against the law?

I'd just bit your lip and deal with it because jobs are hard to come by now days, unless you cannot perform the tasks in the time their requiring you to do, but in that case, they'd probably let you go.

Well, the short of it is yes. A job can require you do to whatever they say is required to do the job.

It depends upon the medical condition and how limiting it is to the work that you do. Reduced schedule has nothing to do with it. They have the right to expect the work be done and at a satisfactory level. If you do not agree, get with your doctor and prepare to file with EEOC.

Of course they can tell you that, it isn't going to happen but they can still say it.

Did they agree to reduce your schedule or did your doctor reduce your schedule? If you asked if they could reduce your schedule and they agreed, they should reduce your schedule accordingly.
If you brought in a doctor's note and they were forced to comply, then there is nothing to stop them from asking you to follow through with what you originally told them you'd do when you first started, your job.
Granted, we would all hope that our jobs would be understanding in these times but they have tasks to accomplish as well and we're all tools that can be replaced.

It really depends on the condition. If you can do the work without any negative effect, they will probably ask you to do the work. However, if you physically cannot do the work at that pace without pain, such as from arthritis or any sort of injury, then you can make arrangements with them.
