Most nonsensical post of the thread.

How is this different from the government using their power to ban headscarves in schools in France?

Using their social power to push their agenda?

Anyway, religion has no place in a school, enough little minds have been poisened over the centuries with these b*ll*cks.

(BTW you might have been against that too; it's just that on that case, in general, the roles were reversed in the argument).

[troll] cause the euros, with all their pious statements about the US and Israel and gitmo and the patriot act are in fact deathly afraid of the muslims in their midst, and will support any policy, from a headscarf ban, to employee rights, that limits the spread of muslim practice - the Amerians, wisely, choose to tolerate Islam and accept diverisity, while battling Islamic radicalism in the middle east instead, so as to retain freedom and tolerance at home (well other than some americans and of course nothing in this or any post should be portrayed as insulting to Oerdin, who risks his life every day)[troll off]

If they are offended by it, they may build a separate lunch room for pork-eaters with double door and a separate ventilation system.

Or they can just make a rule that employees aren't allowed to eat pork on the premises, which, IMO, is a much easier solution.

Forcing other people to observe religious practices as a condition of employment is against federal law

So what you are saying is that Churchs have to allow Satanists into their employment as priests? I'd imagine priests have to be the religion that the Church is. Isn't that forcing them to observe the religious practices as a condition of employment?

They aren't forcing their religion on her--they're forcing their standards of cleanliness on her. It's the same concept as allowing companies to set standards of dress.

Yep.

Damn straight!


G-d Bless America!!!!!!!!


Half seriously, I think we're onto something here, and that we have more to be proud of than natural beauty, and that while we can learn from the Euros and Canadians about stuff like health insurance, they have more to learn from us then theyre in the mood to learn lately, or (most unfortunately) non-conservative Americans are willing to assert.


USA! USA! USA!

Ah, now there's an idea.

Since employees are not (presumably) required to eat lunch on premises, she can just go elsewhere when she wants to eat her ham sandwiches.

What verbal contract? When she signed on to join the company, she signed on to abide by their rules.

Read the original article again. She didn't sign anything.

As well they should

I don't see it as an equal relationship though

C'mon MtG, I think that the State should own the means of production...do you really think that my view of the employee/employer relationship will be as simple as the libertarian ideal of contract?

I know you're a godless commie , I just wanted to expose your bias.

If you think that France and Canada are on the same wavelength on the headscarves thing then you're a bit off.

If anything we generally swing more towards the rights of religious minorities than you do.

With regards to this particular case, the company might be in trouble in Canada because we have generally stronger protections written into our labour laws wrt unfair termination.
