IMO, if your religious beliefs bar you from working certain days, then maybe you should rule out places of employment that need employees 7 days/week.


Or you can work the other 6. They don't want you there more than 40 hours anyway because they don't want to pay overtime.

For those of you that have never seen a job application for businesses that are open on weekends, there is normally a chart with checkboxes next to each day of the week. The form asks to check mark the days that you can work. For the days left unchecked, there is a line that asks you explain why you can't work this day. It's the same for different shifts during the day.

Correct. These morons say things like "that's what insurance is for" or "eat the rich!" They're stupid.

Lucky for me I knew his side hustle and people that were there when he fell out tree. It cost money but he did get money personally from me.


Wow. You had witnesses who testified that he didn't injure himself on the job and he STILL got money?

Wrong. There was a point in time that business used to be closed on Sundays; however, greed has gripped this country to where corporations basically tell you to screw your religious beliefs. This country has gone backwards.

I can promise you, for a restaurant, that is not easy. 90% of a restaurant schedule is trying not to work Sundays. If you tell them people get off due to religious reasons it gets abused. Management spends more time managing this than making sure your food comes out correctly and service is up to part

All they have to do is require restitution if they lose their lawsuit and we would see changes

When I was a young lad working at retail in the early 80's. The blue law had stores closed on Sundays. I kind of miss those times.

If they don't want to ever work on a Sunday, interview at Chic-Fil-A. Church services, in most cities big enough for a PF Chang's, have at least a few locations that hold services on Saturdays and Sunday nights in addition to Sunday mornings. If you don't ever want to work on a Sunday, then get an education and a profession where you can dictate; otherwise, go to work.

Why is that the only way to get rid of it?

That's not self-evident at all.

This brings up another point: the case wouldve been more compelling on the plaintiff's side if there was sudden a breach in work structure such as Chick Fil A going 7 days a week. The decided case involves an applicant knew Sundays were going to happen when he applied.

The second sentence might as well be the example sentence given in the dictionary under the word "populism."

It's why ya'll will piss on the Constitution with glee as long as it means you own your opponent. Today. Forget about what happens when they gain power and then use the same precedent against you.

Populism's only guiding principle is "Us vs Them."

Populism's official creed might as well be, "By any means necessary."

Instead of violating the freedom of association as badly as your opponent in the (silly IMO) hope that the opponent will not like it and voluntarily give it up, why wouldn't you just challenge it in court instead and argue Constitutional freedom of association?

Do you really think that leaning into that law is going to cause Democrats to get rid of it? That's kind of insane if you ask me.
