The OP is indeed able to not hire a Christian based on the prejudice he may have against the legitmate practices of that religion and that in His backwards monkey society is ok.
Quote:Let me repeat it one last time. It's very simple.You don't seem to understand the argument monkey man... In a good and decent Human society their are laws that tell companies who want to strip an indivisual of any right he or she may have to be different than every other drone that they are not allowed to discriminate against people due to their race, Religion, or gender. In this case discrimination would include an unrealistic demand for a worker to work on a holy day when in fact it is not the companies expectation that any of it's workers be made to work 12 hours a day 7 days a week. (as their is a max of 48 hours work week in the UK)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_labour_law
This job requires working on Sundays.
She says she doesn't want to/won't work on Sundays.
Ergo, she doesn't meet the requirement and is not hired.
to say 8 of those hours must be spent on a Sunday out of a 168 hour week is intentionaly targeting Christians.
That's how we do it in 'Merica. (and that is how it is supposed to be done in the UK as well https://www.gov.uk/discrimination-your-r...on-at-work ) But in a monkey society where the mob rules/Pop culture is king. Christianity has fallen out of fashion. In fact in that part of the world it has become fashionable to hate anything Christian. Therefore it IS Indeed OK For the OP and His country to discriminate against religious people. Particually Christians.
Quote:That's it. No religious persecution here. If you hold the belief that working on a Sunday is wrong and think it's a higher priority than having a job, it's your problem. In case you missed it, there are Muslims working there and none of them have any problems with not having a sacred day off. Tough tits.Again in the US and in the UK according to the Laws of Man it is discrimination.. but in your monkey/pop culture society, the OP is a 'hero' for not hiring the Christian.
3. Discrimination at work
The law protects you against discrimination at work, including:
dismissal
employment terms and conditions
pay and benefits
promotion and transfer opportunities
training
recruitment
redundancy
Some forms of discrimination are only allowed if they’re needed for the way the organisation works, eg:
a Roman Catholic school restricting applications for admission of pupils to Catholics only
employing only women in a health centre for Muslim women
ooops I guess you didn't bother looking up the laws in the OP's country either..
