Hurray for right to work. Fired for ANY reason...too fucking bad for you!
Can you show me what part of the Constitution gives you a right to a job?
The court ruled 7-0 that bosses can fire employees they see as an irresistible attraction, even if the employees have not engaged in flirtatious behavior or otherwise done anything wrong. Such firings may be unfair, but they are not unlawful discrimination under the Iowa Civil Rights Act because they are motivated by feelings and emotions, not gender, Justice Edward Mansfield wrote.
He is the owner, he can do as he pleases.
Or actually as his wife pleases
Wuss.

...................................,Buisness owners do not owe anyone a job. And if his marriage is important to him, a Man will do anything to save it.. even if its something as lame as this. I feel sorry for the Lady who was fired, but she had no right to work there if the owners didnt want her there. There is no law against jealousy last I checked.how can the court expect him to control his Johnson?

One of the wilder stories from the judicial branch to cross our desk in some time popped up this weekend. Our tale takes place in an Iowa dentists office, where an attractive, married woman works as a dental assistant. After ten years on the job providing what the dentist himself described as stellar performance, she was fired because she was too attractive and represented a threat to the owners marriage. There was no affair. There was no allegation of an affair. But the dentists wife also worked there and, after discovering some personal (not sexual) text messages between the two, she wanted the woman gone. The assistant went to court claiming unjust termination. Theres no way that one holds up, right? Wrong.
A dentist acted legally when he fired an assistant that he found attractive simply because he and his wife viewed the woman as a threat to their marriage, the all-male Iowa Supreme Court ruled Friday.
The court ruled 7-0 that bosses can fire employees they see as an irresistible attraction, even if the employees have not engaged in flirtatious behavior or otherwise done anything wrong. Such firings may be unfair, but they are not unlawful discrimination under the Iowa Civil Rights Act because they are motivated by feelings and emotions, not gender, Justice Edward Mansfield wrote.
An attorney for Fort Dodge dentist James Knight said the decision, the first of its kind in Iowa, is a victory for family values because Knight fired Melissa Nelson in the interest of saving his marriage, not because she was a woman.
Someone I frequently turn to when I need to understand the byzantine maze of the legal system, Dr. James Joyner, seems to feel that this was pretty much the correct call.
As weird and embarrassing as this case is, it’s a reasonable decision in the narrow case of a sole proprietorship. Should the boss be able to work with women he finds attractive and resist crossing boundaries of professionalism? Sure. But, if its his shop, he should have the right to remove the temptation.
This obviously becomes more problematic in a larger firm, especially when the supervisor isnt also the owner. In those cases, asking for reassignments or just moving on to another firm are more appropriate solutions. But thats unreasonable if its your firm.
In Iowa you can be fired for being too pretty « Hot Air
Good luck to her.Buisness owners do not owe anyone a job. And if his marriage is important to him, a Man will do anything to save it.. even if its something as lame as this.

She will win her civil suite in federal court against the idiot dentist.

Correct nor race or religion. Being attractive is a universal trait, unique to no specific class of persons. And being attractive does not constitute a specific class of persons.
But to terminate based on race, religion, or gender is unlawful, thus it is not true employers may fire employees for any reason they wish.

the judge says it was not because of her sex.
I guess the dentist is Bi
Thats cool, I didn't know you can fire someone for that reason, I am going to fire a bunch of blacks tomorrow because they are a threat to MY marriage because them Niggs got bigger dicks, and MY wife just might get tempted to do one of them.
