Muslim truck drivers refuse to deliver beer, get $240,000 in damages

[Rustic]

Just because a company settles doesn't mean they admit fault. It means it's cheaper to just payoff these jokers and be done with it. Companies have insurance for these type of things.

Seems that they did admit fault, part of the agreement. Next time, obey the law. It's cheaper...

Of course. Hiring somebody to do a job and expect them to do it is the employers fault. How silly of me to think otherwise.

again, they're just asking for a reasonable accommodation. if the company sends out say 10 trucks a day and only 2 of them carry alcohol it's not unreasonable to assign the men to one of the other trucks. the company refused to do that.

As a truck driver, your job is to deliver freight. Unless your cargo is illegal, you have no say-so as to what you are to deliver. If you don't want to deliver alcohol, then don't drive a truck.

And if your job is to bake cakes?

Just got to embrace the suck

If you take a job baking cakes, then you accept the terms of your employment. Bake cakes.

The EEOC argued that the company could have easily reassigned the drivers but did not and sued it for religious discrimination. Star Transport admitted liability in March. The jury awarded Mohamed and Bulshale $20,000 each in compensatory damages and $100,000 each in punitive damages. The judge awarded each about $1,500 in back pay.

"This case makes me proud to be American," Bulshale said.

EEOC wins discrimination case for Muslims fired for not delivering beer
so they admitted to it... what's the problem?

The problem is liberalism and liberal courts. They both need to be abolished in this country.

If you don't like our society, then GTF out of our country. We didn't ask you to come here in the first place. The other problem is we have these foreigners that insist we change for them instead of the other way around. If your country and their standards was so great, then go back there. You won't have to deliver beer, and if your daughters get raped, they will be put to death for shaming their family. We don't do that here.

how would the business have been hurt if they had accommodated their employees religious objections?

Because the cost to replace a truck is expensive. Who knows how far they would have had to summon another truck because of these anti-Americans. Dispatchers make schedules. Everything is planned well ahead of time to maximize profit for the company.

so once again, if that were the case the accommodation would be unreasonable. the company says they didn't even try. they lost their case in court. looks like they could have accommodated the request and chose not to.

If you don't like the fact that we use, deliver, consume alcohol, then GTF out of our country. That's what we do here, and if you're going to take a job, then do the job.

if you don't like the fact that we respect religious convictions and freedom in this country maybe you should GTF out

Society does--employers shouldn't have to. You GTF out of our country. If you want to deliver only what you or your stupid religion dictates, then start your own trucking company. You can refuse anything you want then.

Please don't feed the trolls.

Like I said before.................if your job involves serving the public, then you have an obligation to serve all your customers, not just those you think are deserving.

If you are a religious sect? All bets are off, because I believe that you have the right to practice your particular dogma and beliefs, no matter what they might state.

However, you don't have the right to enforce your beliefs on me.

Good for the two muslim truck drivers!!.........

Truck driving jobs are a dime a dozen, seems their accommodation would be to get a trucking job that allows or religious intolerance.

This is true. We can't find enough people to do this job. We have too many Americans on food stamps talking on their Obama phone. That's why companies are hiring so many foreigners.

Hopefully if we cleanse our government of liberal Democrats, maybe Republicans will drastically reduce our social program rolls and put these lazy people back to work.
