Interview with a Jovo

How many times do you need to hear it?

They need her to work on Sundays. It's necessary for the business. All the other religious people hired there have no trouble at all with not having their sacred day off. Hiring her would be discriminatory towards them.

Stop conflating the debate on whether employers should have the right to discriminate with this particular case, in which there is no discrimination. To the contrary, it's avoided by applying the same standard to all religious employees-no sacred day off, period.

And what the fuck does pop culture have to do with it out of all things?

Nobody is calling the OP a hero. Most people here simply agree the decision was reasonable and just towards all employees.

Again read the law sport. (The US or UK version it does not matter)

You can't make people work on their perspective holy days. That is religious discrimination by defination. You seem to be confusing the law and the exception that says unless a job is only for that holy day (in this case Sunday only,) you must make allowances for an employees deeply held religious views. If the job is not a weekend job only, and because in the UK they are not allow to force people to work more than a 45 hour work week, that means days off. Days off, inturn means scheduling. That's where the law steps in and says because you must give days off, make the day off coninside with a given person's religious beliefs. You can't make them work through their holy day, and then give them some other day off.
