It makes me want to work at a meat processing plant, and then complain there aren't enough veggie meals in the cafeteria, cuz ahimsa.

I seem to recall at least one case of Muslim folk (don't recall if it was man or woman) working as cashier in a supermarket. They refused to ring up customers who purchased pork products. I don't recall what the outcome was. I'd assume the meat was wrapped and they didn't have to eat it or directly touch it. *shrug*

Yiktin, I don't think you'd get too many replies on that one.... but if you do, lemme know!

Tehre's a Burger King at the mall I work at. sometimes I eat there if I have to work extra hours. A couple of muslim girls work there, wearing noithing on their heads but the customary BK cap. But as soon as they walk out of their workplace in their own clothes, they are wearing the scarf on their heads. I guess it is mandatory for BK employees to wear that waful cap. And probaly scarves are not allowed, probably because they break uniformity.

Oh, and also I generally order a double cheese bacon.

What I'm trying to get at with this is: if you don't want to comply with your workplace policies, then do not work there. And if you can't get a job to your liking 'cuz crisis, well, maybe you should consider making certain concessions. I'm not working on retail because I like it, I have a Major, you know.

That being said, I do not agree with Cullion's libertarian idealistic views on this subject. I beleive workers have the right to associate too, and negotiate better conditions from the company they work for.

We're not in the XIX century anymore, the "tis is mah biznizz, git out if you don't liek it!" is kinda retarded.

Complete fail. How could you leave the other apostrophe off like that?

The key word is negotiate. In a negotiation, both parties have the right to say no to the other side's requests. If people don't like it, they get a job elsewhere.

No it's not.
