Discrimination or Ignorance of Policy?

[rod]

Whats religion have to do with it anyway? Its a contract issue. Holidays and other time off are spelled out in black and white in the contract. Why do people take a job and think the rules don't apply to them. If you can get an exemption from the rule more power to you---otherwise get your butt to work.

Everyone has a right to observe their religious beliefs. Employers don't get to pick and choose what religions they will and won't accommodate.



I'm not a religious person at all. Which makes it funny that I'm the one standing up here but there's 50+ years of court decisions behind this.

 

[brownIEman]

Yep. It's out of the unions control. Way above their heads.

For some locals you are probably right. Others would fight it

I agree they would lose that fight but meritless grievances get sent up the flag all the time.

So if I started my own religion and said it was against my beliefs to work on Mondays and Fridays and every other Tuesday you would be ok with me being granted that demand? What separates your religion from mine? (Yes---- I know you would join my religion because that's about what you work now)

I don't think it would be a problem a majority of places.


Not unless someone thought the employee was lying.

Ethics would stop most people from trying anything like that.


I mean it's not hard to use common sense here.

Common sense and ethics seem to be lacking in a good portion of the younger generations.

Something that has been said for generations.

I'm in. I declare myself a convert to the church of the prophet Rod and shall hold sacred every Friday and Monday and alternate Tuesdays and shall preform no labor those days.

Common sense and ethics seem to be lacking in a good portion of the younger generations.

So sayeth the prophet. Amen.

So sayeth the prophet. Amen.

You're in IE, you never perform labor

 

[Daf]

I wouldn't necessarily call it discrimination yet. I think you're boss doesn't believe that you are telling the truth and just trying to avoid work. Reach out to hr first. Then file with union for discrimination.

 

[brownIEman]

You're in IE, you never perform labor

Yes, but now I have an excuse.

Heathen.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

Yes, but now I have an excuse.

Heathen.

You and I would get along far too well working together.

The Prophet says you must send Rod $10,000 by Monday evening or Rod will be very sad. All hail Rod.

Yesterday I was told working this Saturday is mandatory and that "UPS don't recognize 'She-Bop' as a holiday".

You to UPS: “Judaism isn’t a holiday, it’s a religion. And I’m a verified Jew. If you’d like to challenge that, then make my day, b**ches”.

 

[Big Package]

הם פשוט משוגעים הם לא אלוהים נבחר

אני לא חושב שאנשים יבינו מה אתה אומר כאן.

Translate well it did not.

Ok- you all heard the prophet. Start collecting donations and sending them in (and remembered this is a legit faith based organization so it's tax deductible)

I'd start the collection process myself but it's Friday and I can't do any work today. It's against my religion.
