Workplace Discrimination - I was victimized!

Exactly. I don't know where some people get the idea that their job is supposed to make accommodations for them instead of the other way around. Then they complain when they don't get the raise or the promotion. Successful smart people don't look for excuses not to work. Lazy stupid people do.

No discrimination here, but there is sure a big pile of stupidity.

I didn't get where I was by anything other than hard work and being available and on the spot when I had to be. The hardest time I ever had was with a union who protected lazy stupid workers. They're still trying to make ends meet. Meanwhile, I retired at 62 with my home and property and all my toys in beautiful northeast Washington State. Fuck 'em.
 
It is unfortunate, but in this case, the promotion stipulated the work requirements and so, in your case, discrimination does not apply. The laws are to protect both employer and employee, if they hired you, then told you had to work on Sunday, you could file a grievance.

Hey, Superfreak, if you pay a decent wage people don't unionize, it is only when people feel oppressed that unions are necessary!

The problem is you don't know when your "oppression" is over. You keep demanding more and more until your "oppression" has driven your employer out of business to be bailed out by the American people or else your employer left the country for a place more inviting. That's the problem and a big reason why jobs have left. Your "oppression" has turned around to "oppress" the very ones you depend on for your livlihood. Not very smart, but we already knew you were dumber than an empty fucking pickle jar.

Recently, the company for which I work offered promotions. I applied. I was informed that I would have to work Sundays to be given an interview. I protested because I go to church and I teach Sunday school. When I explained this situation; I was told "If you don't want to work Sundays, it's ok, I have 20 other people who will."

Naturally, I made my displeasure known and I got a canned interview. Naturally, I did not get the position. If any of you were wondering why I dislike big business, this is why. If I do nothing, I admit defeat and prove that I will tolerate the untolerable to keep a job. If I file a complaint, I will get retaliated against.

Effectively, I am a 2nd class citizen where I work because I stood up and forced them to give me a canned interview.

May god have mercy on all of you.... even you republicans.... that you never have to experience what I did. To be completely destroyed by it and to have to live as a 2nd class citizen because of it.

It suck that you will not get promoted to head janitor at McDonalds because you will not work Sunday.

Which is why union membership is on the decline and why the unions try to use the NLRB as a blunt instrument against corporations.

I love how lefties always go to the 'decent wage' or 'living wage' argument. Both are entirely vague numbers and are pointless.

Only pointless to a RIGHTIE...wages were raised on the North slope when there was a threat of forming a union, that talk went away once wages and benefits were increased. I have seen it happen in other industries in Alaska.
 
Unions don't hire lazy workers the company does, the union is only there to protect their right to work and to bargain for fair wages.

Pro atheletes are unionized and I think most would agree they receive a decent wage. :)

No company hires a lazy worker. They hire workers and then find out they are lazy and can't get rid of them because the union protects them.
 
there is a scotus case about a seventh day adventist....it does seem you have legal grounds for recourse...up to you if you want to take it.

however, if the job requires the work be performed on sunday, i don't think you have a case.

LMAO.... the point is that it is pointless to say 'decent wage' or 'living wage'... they are VAGUE and entirely subjective. Be SPECIFIC.

Also... there are certainly times where unions or the threat of a union can get a wage increase. That is fine. The point is that union membership is on the decline, in large part because the primary need for unions no longer exists and people would prefer to be rewarded on merit rather than seniority.

Wrong! The typical scenario is companies hire workers and then use them until they use them up. It's human nature, or perhaps "company nature", to work a person as hard as one can for as little as one can get away with paying them.

[h=1]Sherbert v. Verner[/h]
The Sherbert Test consists of four criteria that are used to determine if an individual's right to religious free exercise has been violated by the government. The test is as follows:
For the individual, the court must determine

  • whether the person has a claim involving a sincere religious belief, and
  • whether the government action is a substantial burden on the person’s ability to act on that belief.
If these two elements are established, then the government must prove

  • that it is acting in furtherance of a "compelling state interest," and
  • that it has pursued that interest in the manner least restrictive, or least burdensome, to religion.

So this is claiming the government can't force someone to work on Sundays? Doesn't say anything about a private company.
