Huh. I did not think this was how things worked

 

Star Transport will pay $240,000 to two Muslim employees who were fired for refusing to deliver alcohol, citing their religious beliefs.

 

I'd always come down on the "refuse to make gay wedding cake" people with this argument, that a Mormon sometimes has to serve coffee and a Jew sometimes has to serve a cheeseburger. But if Muslims really don't have to deliver beer . . . that is interesting.

I don't necessarily see the problem here. To me the suit has merit because they were fired...why not send somebody else?

 

If I had a born again driver that didn't want to deliver porn, it would only be an issue if nobody else was available. Then the issue is not helping out, not having the "wrong" beliefs.

But then you're job gets the added complexity of A won't deliver Z or Y and B won't deliver X and these are the routes now distribute the work fairly.  You can't just treat them as cogs in the machine, which is already consternating enough, with schedules and so forth.

Sure, it might be a little bit harder...but that's why it's called work.:)

 

For me, as soon as it turns I to "Do it, or you're fired!" It has moved into an abusive place, making reasonable accommodations isn't just the law, it's basic humanity.

 

Treating people badly is wrong, and sometimes, it's illegal.

The FCC would like to take this moment to remind you not to spend your Government Subsidies on alcohol and trips for your family.
