people should be allowed to follow their religions
this means not working on holy days
now yes, I agree, it might mean that they have to work other days...
and also, can't really do some jobs...
however, if the job can reasonably work with them, it should have to
(in other words if two people are needed on some day, and there are 3 people, and it is Jim's holy day, than the other two people should be the ones who take care of it (without regard to seniority))

what do you do?
Despite what jon said above. It's not feasible to have people working different days. Depending on the type of job of course. Because jobs require people to work together. Unless you are working a job you can do completely independent of other people. It's just not useful to have people work sunday because they can't work saturday. No useful work can be done on sunday.

I would NOT hire him because he did not let me knwo he can not come to the interview. He shoudl have noted beforehand when we arranged the interview date. If he decides to just not show up, he's gone.
If while arranging the meeting he says he can not come that day, because of religious things, OK if it's just that day. But if it's every week that same day, and that's a day when we need to work, I tell them the condition and that he would not fit in because of that.
Again, I see no problem.In da butt.

if you don't allow someone to follow their religion, you are bending them to yours..
the reason why people don't traditionally work on Sunday is because that is the day most Christians worship
so it is causing the Jews (Muslims I guess and select Christian groups like SDAs) to bend to the religion of others (namely majority Christian)

Not true. Business is supposed to be non-religious. If you can't work that day, too bad. It's not discrimination. No one has THE RIGHT to get that job. As an employer, I decide who fits there the best. Clearly a person who can't work when we are supposed to does not fit, and I will not change the business just because of that.

Guess what would happen if he did fire him.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus
