If the muslims win then looks like Kimmie will be a wealthy woman and not need her crap clerk job
I'm sure there will be a major disconnect between the consensus here about the Muslim employees of Star Transport and the Christian county clerk in Kentucky.
Why aren't her lawyers using that same argument?
“Failure to accommodate the religious beliefs of employees, when this can be done without undue hardship, violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion.”
Interesting - federal EEOC doesn’t apply to State employees?
What's the difference between what this trucking firm is "accused" of and an airline refusing to keep stewardesses who refused to look after their appearances?
Is the trucking firm requiring them to drink the alcohol? Were these employees refusing also to deliver pornography?
They are not even required to touch the stuff.
The EEOC likely will not prevail, so this is harassment, meant to intimidate the social order to comply with Islam.
“If the muslims win then looks like Kimmie will be a wealthy woman and not need her crap clerk job”
She was the County Clerk and was paid about $80,000.
She had a staff of several deputy clerks which she denied authorization to give out the certificates.
This is bigger than just one ‘crappy clerk job’.
Not necessarily. The law may apply differently between private and public (government) entities. Any lawyers here?
“Interesting - federal EEOC doesnt apply to State employees?”
Kim was elected to office.
“Why aren’t her lawyers using that same argument? “
She is not an ‘employee’ that can be accommodated. She was elected to her position by the people. The county has no authority to alter that election.
“Not necessarily. The law may apply differently between private and public (government) entities. Any lawyers here? “
She is not an employee. She is an elected official.
She is a public employee. She is paid a salary by an employer.
“She is a public employee. She is paid a salary by an employer.”
“ She Was Elected To Her Position: Davis, a Democrat, won a 2014 election for Rowan County clerk handily 53 percent to 46 percent.”
If you’re a muslim you get to sue, if you’re a Catholic you go to jail.
She is an elected official. Elected officials are public employees. She is paid by an employer (The Federal Government, The State of Kentucky, etc.)
Elected officials are not exempt from the law because they are elected. Sheesh!
Playing devils advocate here... Does the fact the Davis is a govt employee make any difference at all? Thoughts appreciated
You neither forfeit your rights, nor are exempted from laws, because your are a public employee instead of a private employee.
“You’re not getting this.
She is an elected official. Elected officials are public employees.”
You are not getting it. The county has no authority to ‘accomodate’ her to another position.
As an elected person she is taking the stand that her office will not issue the certificates.
